liberate case needs an independent threshold
The liberate-case pass (on with -O2) is causing code duplication in the definition of hPutStr in GHC.IO.
This accounts for 10% of the 25% increase in binary sizes I'm seeing in 6.8.1. We'll be using -fno-liberate-case when building libraries for the distributions (it's already off in the default build, since the default GhcLibHcOpts uses -O).
