[patch 02/2] allow gcc4 to optimize unit-at-a-time

[Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>]

allow gcc4 compilers to optimize unit-at-a-time - which results in gcc
having a wider scope when optimizing. This also results in smaller code
when optimizing for size. (gcc4 does not have the stack footprint
problem of gcc3 compilers.)
