I'd be happy if GCC -O2 just worked without introducing bugs.  I want to
be able to compile the kernel with it again.

Noted.

Is there a gcc PR associated with this?

http://gcc.gnu.org/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl

A GNATS searc for "freebsd kernel" didn't return anything.

No idea.  Somewhere around 4.1 my -O2 and -Os kernel compiles just 
stopped working.  There was a bunch of stuff on the list about it.
