A lot more than one might expect...
It is documented at  
<http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/10.3.6/gcc-1495/ 
AppleReleaseNotes.html>, near the bottom of the page and here  
<http://developer.apple.com/documentation/DeveloperTools/gcc-3.3/gcc/ 
Optimize-Options.html>.

I have no idea why it breaks munge-texi but IMHO this kind of  
optimization is bound to cause trouble at times.
