    pgcc != egcs.  PGcc is a patchset on top of egcs and I suppose they might
    have added additinoal -O options, but egcs itself does not go beyond -O3.

    The PGcc faq indicates that they are slowly folding their stuff into 
    egcs.  Hopefully they've fixed the bugs :-).   I have not tried compiling
    a kernel under pgcc but now that FreeBSD has moved to EGCS, it may actually
    work!
