This is already disabled in u-boot.inc with the following line:

# GCC 4.5.1 builds unusable binaries using -Os, remove it from OPTFLAGS
EXTRA_OEMAKE = "CROSS_COMPILE=${TARGET_PREFIX} OPTFLAGS=''"

Resetting OPTFLAGS to '' removes the -Os from the variable in the 
Makefile. This isn't just a PowerPC problem, it also manifested on ARM, 
I believe it is a GCC 4.5.1 issue.
