I'm not denying that there is lots of room for -Os code size improvements,
but from the http://embed.cs.utah.edu/embarrassing/ results
GCC doesn't perform that bad in comparison with other compilers
(gcc 3.4 best, then icc and then gcc 4.5), and all the results there
were from -Os compilations across the different compilers.
