Yes. And without optimization enabled, I don't see any reason that
the compiler should be expected to reuse the stack space; that's an

code more quickly by using a new stack slot for every variable. Or,
using different stack slots, might result in faster code on some
machines, which is nice even at -O0.
If people find no other way to make it work other than -Os, that's fine.
I think -Os is an optimization for code size, not for stack size. It's
not clear to me that reusing the stack slot will result in smaller code
all the time on all machines.
