Recent versions of GCC for PowerPC systems suffer from some compiler bugs which prevent the use of "--enable-target-optspace" in their configuration, which makes the compiler option "-Os" unavailable; for reference see
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=43810 http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=48278 http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=45053 In the result, BusyBox will be compiled without any optimization options, which causes a huge binary (1.8 MiB for default configuration on PPC, built with gcc 54.51 from the Yocto / Poky / OpenEmbedded tool chains). This commit changes behaviour so "-O2" gets used as fallback when "-Os" is not available. This reduces the image size in above test to 1.3 MiB. This is still 10...15% more then what we get with "-Os", but much better than using no optimization at all.
