thats correct. this options is only for making gcc runtime to be built 
with Os. It does not make gcc to use -Os by default. The problem for ppc 
however is that if you built with Os then gcc depends upon functions 
from libgcc.a which needs libgcc.so to be a linker script stub rather 
than a symlink as it used to be but this has been fixed
