I believe that autoconf will automatically select -O2 (when CFLAGS isn't
already set) *if* it's chosen gcc. It won't select anything for vendor

I think it's too late in the beta cycle to add optimization flags except
for platforms we can get specific success results for. (Solaris is
probably okay for instance.) The risk of breaking things seems too
high.
