We generally do not *want* that. The majority of packages has absolutely
no valid reason to insist on any specific optimizer flags. Period. There
are special cases and those are already just fine. Read: appending
certain flags like -ffast-math just works fine. -OMG is not generally
better than -O, contrary to the Gentoo Racing Community.
