I'm running linux and I would like to know what the flags are for
gcc, especially for optimization. I want really fast code,
made 486 specific, not 486-if-possible-else-386. What
does the -O stand for? I've seen a lot of -O2s and a -O6 for the
kernel, would someone enlighten me, since I can't find a man
page and gcc -h (and similar tries) produce no help?
