Remember my inquiry as to what effect cc -O has under
Edition VII, since the manual says it's not implemented
but /lib/c2 exists? Well, I noticed that /lib/c2 has two links,
and ncheck reveals it's a link to /bin/cp. Cute.

So, using the -O option to cc does nothing except slow the
compile down by the time it takes to copy the object module
over once with cp.
