Given that on Windows we compiled all the (JDK) native libraries with OPTIMIZATION setting LOW in fact with O1 (minimize size / create the smallest code in the majority of cases) for years, there is a high chance that size-optimization would work nicely for those (level LOW) too on platforms with gcc/clang ; but to be on the safe side we probably have to look into it on a per library level instead of just change it for all. ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/23432#issuecomment-2636053637
