Well, moving to -O2 at least looks sane. I noticed -O3 can go a bit mad
with auto inlining.
On x86-64 I'm also using -fno-reorder-blocks. The main reason is that
it also makes the code a bit smaller and more important it's much
easier
to read the assembly code during debugging because it matches the C
code
better.
I use that flag too, mainly because I stole x86/64 Xen CFLAGS from
Linux. :-)
