Still 1% too many just to work around broken debugging tools when DWARF 
unwinding has been available for years and is already supported by many 
tools. (GCC would not default to -fomit-frame-pointer on -O2 otherwise. It 
does not do that on platforms where frame pointers are really needed for 
debugging.)

And what is the impact on code size? In my experience, -fomit-frame-pointer 
also generates smaller code than -fno-omit-frame-pointer, so I would like to 
see the sizes in your test cases.

I am still strongly opposed to degrading performance and size for all users 
just to help the handful users of poorly-designed profiling tools.
