If you look more closely, he changed cases which did -O2 -finline-functions ...
to be -O3 -finline-functions.

It doesn't actually change the testsuite in any way at the moment, but if we
ever made -O3 do something other than just turn on funtion inlining, then this
change will become much more important.

I believe that we will in the not too distant future want to add some opts to
-O3.
