I believe that the majority of systems we are built on want a -O2 compiled
kernel. Optimizing for size (-Os) is mainly benneficial for embedded
systems and systems with very small CPU caches (correct me if I'm wrong).

Please take a look at commit 0910b44 ("Expose "Optimize for size"
option for everybody") for the reasoning behind defaulting to -Os.

Thank you for that pointer Pekka. I guess I need to update my view on -Os.
