According to gcc manual:
    -Os    Optimize  for  size.  This enables all -O2 optimizations that do
              not typically increase code size.  It also performs 
further  op-
              timizations designed to reduce code size.

So the options are overlapped, and also each option has its own 
optimizations, it should
be treated that both -Os and -O2 have dangerous optimizations.
