Hi, all
I have noticed that the compile option in the kernel Makefile is O2 if not define CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE. I tried modified this option to O3, but failed when I load the image in uboot. Does the O3 work with the kernel? Is there anyone have tried this? Thanks!

there isnt any real reason why it wouldnt work. -O2 is the default because it tends to be the best speed/size compromise and it tends to avoid bugs in code generation which sometimes occurs with -O3.
