There's only one optimization macro to build the interpreter and the
modules.  IMO it makes sense to build the interpreter with -O3, and
even to build the standard modules like _sre with this optimization
level.  What can be done, is to lower the opt level after compilation
in the package.

But as you can see, even with -O2 python2.4 FTBFS on m68k.
