This flag enables gcc to "see" the entire C file before making optimisation decisions such as inline, which results in gcc making better decisions. One of the immediate effects of this is that static functions that are used only once now get inlined. gcc 3.4 has this flag as well, however gcc 3.x have a problem with inlining and stacks and as a result, enabling this flag there would cause excessive and unacceptable stack use. This problem is fixed in the gcc 4.x series. The x86-64 architecture already enables this feature so it's well tested already.
