The pass manager builder has an option for Os (0, 1, 2). But all it
does, AFAICR, is to disable one explosive optimization pass.

I'm not sure how that gets propagated into the DAG. Maybe every
function in that module receives the attribute Richard mentions...

Optimization for size hasn't been tested properly, at least not for
ARM, and I hit all sorts of trouble (even before getting to DAG) when
enabling it.
