-Os has no business here.  That's what CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE is for.

I think I'm going to start by throwing the insane option selection
complexity which was needed for support of gcc 2.95 ... 3.1; a few days
gcc 3.2 became the minimum required to build a 2.6 kernel, then see what
can nicely be implemented.
