This is very strange, since as far as I can tell, egcs ignores any optimization
settings over -O3:

toplev.c:
  if (optimize >= 3)
    {
      flag_inline_functions = 1;
    }
 

It is also strange since normally, the last argument on the command line is
used (-O2 instead of -O5 in this case).

BTW, I believe -fno-strength-reduce isn't necessary with gcc >2.7.
