src_configure has: ``` # Stabilize things, for your own good strip-flags replace-flags -O? -O2 ``` I doubt this is really needed still. If it is, it should be accompanied with a bug reference.
I'm almost sure that's not really needed. +20 years ago there's was a bug with net-im/gaim, probably caused by gcc-2.95 and -Os optimization. https://bugs.gentoo.org/29394 The following developers and maintainers just copied those lines when bumping versions, and nobody tried to remove them with new Gaim/Pidgin/GCC versions. Also x11-plugins/pidgin-encryption has the same code; I guess the Gentoo maintainer/developer was extra cautious.

Given you did the research, mind doing a PR to drop it (in a new revision) with that context in the commit message, and a Closes: for this bug (and a Bug: for the old one)? Thank you!
