Thanks for doing that.  Someday we might take it even further and compile on those certain
needed files under 4.7.x that must be done with -O1, others with -O2.

This is easier than it sounds since gcc will ignore all but the right most optimization
setting on the command line.

So really, you just have to set set_source_file_properties() on a few files and pass in
the -O1 as COMPILE_FLAGS or such (don't hold me on spelling), and as long as CMake appends
that to other stuff, then -O1 will prevail on only those files.
