They shouldn't.  DEF_VEC_* expands to a NOP now.  The allocation 
strategy is only needed during the actual allocation call.  So, in the 
case of opts.c, that would be in add_comma_separated_to_vector() (the 
call to VEC_safe_push).

Those two vectors are only used for -finstrument-options..., though.  So 
that does not seem related.

The call to postpone_unknown_option_warning in opts-global.c seems also 
unrelated.  It's only used when processing unknown options.  That vector 
is popped when the unknown options are freed, so that can't be it either.
