Some of the more recent gccs were not producing usable binaries on some
platforms (including arm) with the -Os option. I do not know if this is
the case with 4.6.2, and I don't think ecos uses -Os by default, but it
is probably worth checking whether this works (and at least documenting
somewhere if it does not).
