Please use at least -Os (optimize for size) or -O2 (optimize for speed (at "level 2"), which is what Fedora is using). You'll probably also want to use -g if you want to be able to use a debugger on your executable. Those are just the basics, gcc/g++ have many useful switches and Fedora uses a whole bunch when compiling its packages (and some upstream projects add even more).
