A simple test with 'sudo port -d -s build llvm-3.8' reveals that -Os
is in fact used during the compiles on Intel. This is unsurprising as
MacPorts has standardized on -Os.

CFLAGS='-pipe -Os'
CXXFLAGS='-pipe -Os -std=c++11 -stdlib=libc++'
F90FLAGS='-pipe -Os -m64'
FCFLAGS='-pipe -Os -m64'
FFLAGS='-pipe -Os'
OBJCFLAGS='-pipe -Os'
OBJCXXFLAGS='-pipe -Os -stdlib=libc++'
