🚀 go-pugleaf

I am using gcc version 2.2.2 on a DECstation 3100, and I discovered
(quite by accident) that gcc accepts a -04 option.  I never heard of
this and the man pages say nothing about it.

I checked the generated assembler of normal vs, -O, -O2, and -O4, and
sure enough, -04 generates the most, but it only produces code about
as fast as -02, (sometimes faster somtimes slower -- depends on the
code.)

Interestingly, for ``simple'' functions it generates the same code as
-02, but with different labels.


Anybody know anything about this?

Regards,
Gary
