  Please note the warning under @option{-fgcse} about

  invoking @option{-O2} on programs that use computed gotos.

 +NOTE: In Gentoo, @option{-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2} is set by default, and is

 +activated when @option{-O} is set to 2 or higher.  This enables additional

 +compile-time and run-time checks for several libc functions.  To disable,

 +specify either @option{-U_FORTIFY_SOURCE} or @option{-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=0}.

  @item -O3

  @opindex O3

  Optimize yet more.  @option{-O3} turns on all optimizations specified
