Summary: 

I think the reason that the -O option exists at all is because it was a simple
matter to replace the optimizer program (c2) with a link to copy rather than
hack up the source code.  Another thing you might want to watch out for is
the multiple defines caused by the SCCS headers in the /usr/include/* files. 
I always do "cc -DNO_SCCS_ID -m" just to get around most of the errors.  It
seems to help a lot.
