hmm, advisable is a vague thing.....i go in and hack the makefile to -O2
when i make my kernels or i build apps from src, and i have been doing it
since 2.x days with no ill effects.

note that i have never built the entire tree, so i couldnt speak about
that circumstance.

with 4.4-RELEASE, my current focus is now on using -O3. the kernel seemed
ok and all apps(more than 20) that i built seemed happy in daily use
EXCEPT bash 2.05! wouldnt run! coredumped as soon as you started it!

i didnt debug it. i just built it with -O2 and was good to go.

YMMV, HTH
