I just tested with -O3 on NetBSD/amd64 (gcc 4.5.3) and also on
Linux/i686 (Debian gcc 4.3.2-1.1) and all tests pass, with and
without DEBUGBUILD=1.

For now I'd say this is a problem with your particular gcc version.
If you or someone else can reproduce this and come up with a patch
that would be great.

You don't have to edit Makefiles BTW, you can easily force -O3 by running
gmake C_COMPILER_OPTIMIZATION_OPTIONS=-O3 ...
You can also pass OPTIMIZE_FOR_SPEED=1, which is a catchall setting.

If you want to let this stick around, config.make is the place to
add these settings.

Cheers,
Peter
