The $optimize flag no longer shows up in the root Makefile anywhere.
Configure.pl --help advertises:
--optimize Optimized compile
--optimize=flags Add given optimizer flags
and config/init/defaults.pm further documents this as:
# A plain --optimize means use perl5's $Config{optimize}. If an
# argument is given, however, use that instead.
However, that doesn't work anymore. (I know it used to, because I
documented it that way when I implemented it.)
