On what?

Don't forget that we're talking about two different architectures and
one or two versions of compilers for the two branches we support
(4-stable and 5-current). :)

I tend to agree with Kris -- unless there is a very good reason to do
so, we shouldn't allow optimizations higher than what the project
supports (-O).

Of course, if the maintainer has taken the effort to test a particular
set of optimization flag on a particular arch/compiler combination,
they are free to enable it with an accompanying conspicuous comment so
they won't be accidentally "cleaned up".
