Re: [BusyBox] Re: Long term code compactness regression

Not.
currently the mainline contains patch to default stack alignment to 2 if
-Os is present I am not quite happy about.
You can still pass -Os and overwrite the alignment by -mpreferred-stack-bodary=4

Do you have any idea why this happends? We should really keep -O2 faster
than -Os in most cases.
I've done some work on the mainline to avoid code bloat in -O2 mode, so
maybe the score is better now.
