Should gcc use the -pipe option by default?

Hi all.

I have noticed that there are a number of packages that
include extra code to test for and enable the -pipe
option to gcc. I think it might be a good idea to add
the -pipe option to the default CFLAGS if gcc is detected and
the -pipe option is supported. What do you think?
