I have assumed -O2, but the question makes me realise I haven't
actually checked. The build for all versions boils down to
`CC=gcc-4.9 ./configure.developer && make -j` (gcc-4.9 because
newer compilers with -Werror find fatal warnings in old code),
so it depends on the various releases' defaults.

I'll double check tomorrow.
