On second thought, I would actually recommended to revert this change

days, you reduce the binary by about 200k. I don't think this is worth
the risk of breaking something as fundemantal as busybox.

I'd be more worried about the compiler breakage, to be honest. -Os is
meant to work!

Yes, it is meant to work. But it is not as guaranteed to work as -O2
simply because the majority of packages are built with -O2. So, there
is some potential of things breaking.

Of course, these issues should be fixed and I will file a bug report
on the problem. I just meant that varying the optimization levels
is not something that you can expect to work in 100% of the cases.
