It looks like "Output_File_Type=s" is hardcoded in unix's benchmark.cpp, ie:

# diff -u source/backend/control/benchmark.cpp{.orig,}

This allows to run the benchmark, although I'm not sure how relevant are the
results. The benchmarking code is different in 3.7.0.beta.38 between windows and
linux, windows producing more statistics including PPS (ie PrintRenderTimes in
windows/pvengine.cpp).

Are there any plans to match the benchmarking code between windows and linux ?
