>Description:
File test2.c:

int f1 (void);
int f2 (void) {
  return f1 ();
}

i686 -Os (best code):

f2:
  jmp     f1

i686 -O2/-O3 (Ooops):

f2:
  subl  $12, %esp
  addl  $12, %esp
  jmp f1

PowerPC -Os/-O2/-O3 (Ooops):

f2:
  stwu 1,-8(1)
  mflr 0
  stw 0,12(1)
  bl f1 
  lwz 0,12(1)
  addi 1,1,8

>How-To-Repeat:
gcc -S -Os test2.c -Wall -fomit-frame-pointer
gcc -S -O2 test2.c -Wall -fomit-frame-pointer
gcc -S -O3 test2.c -Wall -fomit-frame-pointer
ppc-eabi-gcc -S -Os test2.c -Wall -fomit-frame-pointer
ppc-eabi-gcc -S -O2 test2.c -Wall -fomit-frame-pointer
ppc-eabi-gcc -S -O3 test2.c -Wall -fomit-frame-pointer
