Don't optimize the bootloader. Grub doesn't need optimizations. No bootloader needs optimization from gcc. You are dealing, also, with assmebly that the authors write for the target platform. Segfaults commonly come from grub when using optimizations. Also, may as well install strace and gdb and debug. I write this because grub, in the past has, segfaulted when using -O3 or -march set, even from before Grub 1. Even when using -O3 you can get a "loading grub..." message that hangs. Rebuild grub without optimizations and return with results.
