We've been using '-O2 -fno-strict-aliasing' on all our 64-bit platforms
for quite a while now.  So I think it is field-tested enough to give it a
try on the 'i386' kernel also.  So after your next CVSup, you'll be using
these optimization options unless you have different ones specified via
"COPTFLAGS" in /etc/make.conf.

Please let the freebsd-current@freebsd.org list know if you experience
any new problems with your kernel that go away if you set:

    COPTFLAGS= -O

in /etc/make.conf.
