Out of curiosity, how much potential performance is FreeBSD throwing
away by banning -O2 and -O3?  To my naive eyes it would seem better
to light that candle (try fix the -O2 bug) than curse the darkness.
Assuming there is significant performance gain and there truly is only
one major -O2 bug.  -O2 used to be considered "safe" didn't it?
