Compile options: default to -O2 when -Os is not available

Recent versions of GCC for PowerPC systems suffer from some compiler
bugs which prevent the use of "--enable-target-optspace" in their
configuration, which makes the compiler option "-Os" unavailable;
for reference see

http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=43810

In the result, BusyBox will be compiled without any optimization
options, which causes a huge binary (1.8 MiB for default configuration
on PPC, built with gcc 54.51 from the Yocto / Poky / OpenEmbedded tool
chains).  This commit changes behaviour so "-O2" gets used as fallback
when "-Os" is not available.  This reduces the image size in above
test to 1.3 MiB.  This is still 10...15% more then what we get with
"-Os", but much better than using no optimization at all.
