[Xorp-hackers] optimize=size only saves 2M

Hi all,
I just ran a build with 'optimize=size'. This tells gcc to use the '-Os'
(optimize for lowest code size) optimization.
According to BSD's 'du -ch', this optimization only saves 2 megabytes,
with all protocols installed (BGP, RIP, OSPF, PIM, IGMP, MLD, VRRP).
This optimization level can pessimize performance in some situations, so
it is not the default.
thanks,
BMS
