Hi,

I thought I'd share my results, in case it's of use to anyone else. After 
a few days of trial and error, I have found the highest optimisation 
levels that do not result in tests failing:

CONFIG var  Orig    New
----------  ------  ------
FOPT        -w -O3  -w -O1
FOPT1       -w -O1  -w -O0
FOPT2       -w -O2  -w -O1
FOPT3       -w -O3  -w -O3

I assume that underneath it all, there's probably just a couple of source 
files that needed their level changing.
