Thanks.  I was able to recreate.  I reduced it to:

void a(b);
__attribute__((optimize(""))) c(void) { a(); }

Apparently '__attribute__((optimize()))' is overwriting GCC cmdline
flags, including -fno-omit-frame-pointer.  I had assumed it would append
instead of replace.

I'm guessing this is a GCC "feature" instead of a bug.  I'll need to
follow up.
