FYI, *don't* modify CFLAGS in mk.conf.  That's what COPTS is for -- all
optimizations belong in that.  Other Makefile logic will occasionally break
if CFLAGS is modified in mk.conf....

-O3 is known not to work on many platforms; in fact, it's only regularly
tested in gcc on i386 and sparc (and rarely at that).  If this works with
-O2, then as far as we're concerned "it works" at the moment.
