eldritch horrors 3c52344300 out with the -O3, in with the -O2
-O3 does not measurably improve performance of the resulting binaries,
neither with lto enabled nor with lto disabled. what it does to however
is cause gcc warning spew in libstdc++ that we can't do anything
about (and that upon inspection of libstdc++ source looks like a gcc
bug).

with lto, -O3:
