If you don't tell GCC to do *any* optimisation it will generate really 
terrible code. -O is very well tested, I suggest you use it. Just because one 
compiler somewhere generated bogus code when asked to optimise doesn't mean 
they all do it.

I'm not suggesting GCC is bug free either, but trying to use unoptimised code 
on a microcontroller is asking for serious code size and performance issues.

Well that's good since this is the avr-gcc list :)
