Can't find a list of options that is equivalent to -O1,
so cannot test various optimizations.

Notice that -march=i686 gives the wrong results and
-march=core2 gives the correct result.  Trying -march=i686
-msse -msse2 gives the correct result.  It seems that
clang does not understand how the x87 (on i585-freebsd).
