Almost certainly better anyway; pgcc with -O6 most likely would generate
some amount of bad code and weird instability, and it really wouldn't make
things that much faster. In fact sometimes those optimizations slow things
down. -O2 is the "happy medium" (and the default in all automake/autoconf
setups).
