That's an overspecification. I suggest:

  -O optlevel
    Specify the level of code optimization. optlevel is a decimal digit
    such that higher digits generally correspond to a greater degree of
    optimization, and the lowest degree of optimization that can be
    specified is denoted by the digit '0'.
