>Description:

sys/conf/Makefile.kern.inc (rev. 1.13.4.8) has a line:

	COPTS+=		${DEFCOPTS}

that unconditionally appends "-O2" to ${COPTS}. Because of this,
even if you set "-O0" as your ${COPTS}, it is replaced with the one
with "-O2".

According to CVS log, this change is for avoiding sparc problem.

>How-To-Repeat:

Go into sys/arch/YOURARCH/compile/KERNNAME and "make" specifing your
own COPTS, for example "-O0", and you'll see "-O2" on the screen.

>Fix:

Revert to 1.13.4.7.

As for sparc problem addressed in CVS log, it can (or should?) be
treated in MD way, for instance, in sys/arch/sparc/conf/Makefile.sparc.
