optimistaion in AVR Tiny13
Another important point in getting code as small as possible is to
use -combine and -fwhole-program - it can significantly improve
code, especially for functions that are called only once but live
in different modules.
In my tests on real world programs, it have decreased the code by up
to 25%. And it has also *increased* the code by up to 25%!
Unfortunately I don't know what about the code that causes it to
increase. But clearly it is not always a win and can be a detriment.
So be sure to check your code sizes when you use this.
