-O2 forces -optlo-O3 in a way that cannot be overridden at command line
I would expect -O2 -optlo-O2 to pass -O2 to the llvm optimiser. However, it seems that -O2 implies -optlo-O3, overriding the command-line's -optlo-O2.
The workaround seems to be to use -O1 -optlo-O2, but of course this misses some ghc optimizations.
