No.  GCC does all optimizations *except* those known to increase

so as to how the instructions are selected. compiling for code size
does not have an effect ?

Please don't top-post on this list.

Any target could, in principle, select instructions based on size
and -OS, but I don't know any that do.
Many ports look at at -Os and change their instruction selections, alignment requests, etc.

grep for "optimize_size" in the machine descriptions...
