I had an "old" native x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu tree around from
[trunk revision 139963], and I see the corresponding effect there.

Of all four combinations of {,-fno-tree-reassoc} {,-fschedule-insns
-fschedule-insns2}, together with -fno-ivopts -fno-reorder-blocks -fno-gcse, it
was plain  -fno-tree-reassoc (no scheduling) that produces the smallest
stack-frame and *at a glance* smaller, faster code.  (FWIW, I'm a bit surprised
to see that -fschedule-insns -fschedule-insns2 is not the default for this
arch.)
