If you send in bug reports and mention explicitly that your settings are other than -O, we will probably ignore you, and might possibly mock you publicly. If you send in bug reports and do _not_ mention that your settings are other than -O, and it comes out later for whatever reason, many people will be angry at you, some will deride you publicly, and others will put you in their permanent kill files. If, on the other hand, you send in a bug report about something that doesn't work while being compiled -O, in all likelihood you will get a cooperative and friendly response. In other words, even if you want to experiment with other compiler settings (and I do this myself) you should try it first with the "supported" settings before asking anyone on the lists about it.
