Indeed.  If you've forgotten, I quoted the section of the gcc source code which 
indicates which individual -fblah options are enabled at -O1, -O2, -O3.

Yes, I hope and believe they would.  If you've also forgotten the origin of this 
thread, it was:

| The "known bugs" section of the GCC info documentation lists 5 issues; "man
| gcc" lists none.  Can someone provide a test case for a bug involving "cc -O"
| versus "cc -O3" under FreeBSD 4-STABLE for the x86 architecture?

One might (reasonably and correctly) conclude that I was asking for examples of 
such test-cases.
