Okay, thanks. I've filed this as bug #26719.

I tried with and without -O0 specified; it didn't seem to make a
difference.

Using -fverbose-asm and -save-temps, it seems to show a few more
optimisations being used than the man page indicates. I might try a
few of those and add it to the bug info if it makes a difference.
