I wonder if we should have a comment in kern.pre.mk, even if it's just
an explicit notice that changing -O can have adverse effects. For
better or worse it's a fairly common desire to try changing the
kernel's -O.

Of course, kern.pre.mk is not intended to accommodate user-facing
changes. I suspect it's reasonably common for developers to grep '-O2'
in sys/conf and discover where it's getting set though.
