I got

COPTS =                 -m68030 -O2 -pipe
CFLAGS +=               -m68030
CXXFLAGS +=             -m68030

as the canonical solution from tech-kern. Setting COPTS with anything means
it is not set by the system makefiles, so you should put optimization
there, too-

After a hint from Greg Woods, I found that building 1.5.4 with
LDFLAGS=-static gives a considerable boost. I haven't run benchmarks
before/after, but especially ssh performance is much more bearable
(la.causeuse.org - that's a IIsi @ 25 MHz).
