Thanks for doing all those tests! Yes, it would be nice to retest if
the other packages can be built without optimizations. If that's the
case, we can simply disable optimizations for Microblaze for those few
packages. It's less annoying that having those additional dependencies
that we have to propagate to reverse dependencies.

Thanks!
