If it was a documentation / errata problem it would be right, but...

Using -O2 is unsupported, because gcc is know to generate broken code in
some cases with -02 and higher.  From the make.conf manual page :

     CFLAGS        (str) Controls the compiler setting when compiling C code.
                   Optimization levels above -O (-O2, ...) are not supported.

That said I actually though -O2 should work for i386 with recent
versions of gcc.
