I don't think that this would be necessary. But a check in the linker that 
sees if link-time optimizations and compile-time optimization match (and 
produce a warning if they don't) would have helped a lot. I can imagine 
that this is a common problem as you usually don't pass options like -O to 
the linker, so Makefiles have to be changed and things can go wrong. (Also: 
In many cases there might not be an observable problem with the generated 
code (other than slow code execution and big output files) and the user 
might just incorrectly assume that all available optimization was used.)
