I had thought that it was clearer and easier to maintain, since -Os
is so similar to -O2 at the flag level.  Do you think an explicit list
would be better?

It turns out there was some discussion about it (see
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2002-08/msg01778.html), but it
wasn't approved at the time.  The issue was a list of platforms for
-fomit-frame-pointer.  I removed the list from the revised patch to
avoid the issue.

Great!  So I still need Geoff or equivalent to look at these two, right?

I appreciate your getting these patches applied.
