FS#11381 - eabi: flac with -O2

As known flac decoding speed will slow down by ~8% when switching to the eabi tool chain. Thomas Martitz reported on irc that building with -O2 solves this problem. This patch enables -O2 for flac. As a result the decoder is faster than current svn.

Tested on arm7tdmi (iPod Video):
eabi, -O1 ⇒ ~13,5 MHz eabi, -O2 ⇒ ~11,7 MHz

Could this please be retested on other targets and CPU’s as well? Please report the speeds in this flyspray entry.

O2 with gcc4.4 is faster on the gigabeast too

Some more measurements on arm7tdmi:

svn, -O1 ⇒ ~12.7 MHz svn, -O2 ⇒ ~12.3 MHz

So, even when using the standard toolchain -O2 is reasonable faster. As soon as we use eabi there is further major speed-up.

Some test on Coldfire would be great! So, if you own one, please support :o)

flac_5.flac, svn, 19.21MHz
flac_5.flac, this patch, 19.85MHz

flac_8.flac, svn, 19.67MHz
flac_8.flac, this patch, 20.36MHz

Thanks, Frank. So, we better leave -O1 for non-ARM targets. I will submit the attached v02-patch.
