`-O1' is an option to gcc, not to mgnuc, so you should use
CFLAGS-rl_code rather than MGNUCFLAGS-rl_code for that.
Currently it doesn't actually make any difference in this case,
but in general passing gcc options in MGNUCFLAGS can cause
problems because any later MGNUCFLAGS get interpreted as
gcc options rather than mgnuc options.
