Reducing compilation memory usage

Hi Alejandro,

Did you try -O1 (or -O2 or -O3) and -fno-* disable all the optimizations that can be disabled?

Note that most optimizations enabled by -O1 (and greater) do not have -f* toggles.

> 3. -f* (corresponding to when enabling -O2 as manpage says, but NOT -O2): builds, but the final program runs at the same speed.

That is the same as -O0 "do not optimize".

The -f* are ignored.

> Do you want the preprocessed source, and the exact -f* options?

No.

> I was initially looking for using -O2 with necessary -f-no-* to avoid running out of memory.

That is the approach I recommend.
