When the kernel doesn't fit on a floppy, and they exhaust all compressive techniques, and someone discovers -Os makes the kernel run faster and that it is smaller, someone will discover those routines that were inline, are not anymore. :-( Then we can hear the bug reports again and explain that even when you ask the compiler to inline, with -Os, _sometimes_ the compiler doesn't. I will provide a link back to this message when it happens later.
