Actually they are a bit agressive. '-O2' have produced broken code for
varius versions of GCC, and at least one version of gcc 3.x has produced
broken code for CPUTYPE=p4 (though this should be fixed now). More
optimizations sometimes trigger coding bugs, which lower -O levels hide.
From make.conf(5) :
CFLAGS (str) Controls the compiler setting when compiling C code.
Optimization levels above -O (-O2, ...) are not supported.
In short, while higher -O levels might work, they are rarely worth all
the problems they create.
