s/--make-tans-opt/--trans-intermod-opt/

Specifying --make-trans-opt will cause the compiler to finish execution
after it has created the .trans_opt file - what you actually want to do
is tell the compiler to use transitive intermodule optimization, i.e.
generate the .trans_opt files *and* use them to generate the C code.
That's what --trans-intermod-opt does.
