I tried building jsc, libQtWebkit and WebCore with all combination of
these gcc options. Between "-O2 -fno-strict-aliasing" and "-O3" is
irrelevant. (<1%) The different caused by -fPIC option, which is
neccessary if building libQtWebKit shared library.

The solution can be building command line jsc with -fPIC too. It
will cause 12% slowdown, but the performance will be same as jsc
in libQtWebKit. I think it's correct to measure SunSpider test
with such jsc as in libQtWebKit, because several optimizations
have different effect on different jsc's.
