Perhaps this is the wrong place to post this, but as a software engineer, I do not trust all compiler's optimization without running in the debug environment first. They can sometimes do wierd stuff to your code. If the optimization doen't work, but the non-optimized does, how are you supposed to debug it? The Nios2 debugger is the first debugger that I have ever used that does not debug optimized code.
