Just so you know -O20 is the same as saying -O3.

I don't think everything in base is safe for -ffast-math,
but setting it in make.conf will surely test that.

-O2 is already turned on almost everywhere by default,
so also, I believe, with -fomit-frame-pointer.  The only
thing I've ever found to be remotely useful to change
was -Os on an old, space-restricted machine.  But
last time I tried -Os on amd64 it broke.  Badly.
