I compiled with clang since I'm on Mac. The Renaissance benchmark suite is also a good one that I learned about recently.
My opinion is that there are probably more compelling alternatives if reducing binary size is the goal. Even if the tests show that Os/O2 is no different than O3, who knows if this will be true in the future.
