The last link even suggests that Annex K should be deprecated. I suppose this people don't care about security at all. Of course, what would really solve the optimize-into-oblivion problem is a pragma that when invoked on a particular block of code (maybe only a function definition) would tell the compiler to do what the programmer says rather than viewing a function as a kind of black box.
