simple as that... you get what you tell the compiler you want.

Certain distros are shipping kernels compiled with -Os. And it's more

so those distros pick space over some cycles. Who are you to then
override that choice ? ;-)

seriously, why are we even talking about overriding a choice the user
(or distro vendor as user) made here?
