As I said in comment #1, both optimizations make debugging very
difficult.

* The former one (-fomit-frame-pointer) may make it impossible to
  debug by gdb.
  http://sources.redhat.com/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdb_7.html
* -ffast-math equals
  -fno-math-errno
  -funsafe-math-optimizations
  -fno-trapping-math
  -ffinite-math-only
  -fno-signaling-nans
   i.e.
   1. this optimization means that you trust that there is no mistake
      like 'taking root of negative number' or so, which is very risky.
   2. I don't know if this program needs accuracy, however, 
      -funsafe-math-optimizations usually decreases precision of floating
      point calculation.
