I didn't use them simultaneously. There are 3 scenarios:

1. No options: builds.
2. -O1/-O2/-O3: runs out of memory.
3. -f* (corresponding to when enabling -O2 as manpage says, but NOT
   -O2): builds, but the final program runs at the same speed.

More specifically this step is just the compilation of preprocessed
code to assembly source.

Do you want the preprocessed source (don't know if the mailing lists
accepts attachments, and encoded ones), and the exact -f* options?

I was initially looking for using -O2 with necessary -f-no-* to avoid
running out of memory.

Thanks and Best Regards,
Ale
