CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE breaking tridentfb

Hello,
I have a weird problem with CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE.

When it's enabled, tridentfb hangs with Blade3D card (ID 0x9880) in
blade_image_blit(). The screen is blank with some artifacts and machine does
not respond to ping or keyboard. However, it can be rebooted by Alt+SysRq+B.
It works fine with other cards (3DImage 9750 and CyberBlade XP) with no blit
implementation. Commenting out contents of blade_image_blit() function makes
the hang go away (nothing useful on the screen, of course).

Compiled kernel without CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE: works
Then inserted #pragma GCC optimize ("Os") line into tridentfb.c: hangs (1)
Then added __attribute__((optimize("O2"))) to blade_image_blit(): works (2)

Compiled kernel with CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE: hangs.
Then inserted #pragma GCC optimize ("O2") line into tridentfb.c: still hangs!
Then added __attribute__((optimize("O2"))) to blade_image_blit(): still hangs

$ gcc --version
gcc (Debian 4.7.2-5) 4.7.2

WTF is going on here?

objdumps from case (1) and (2):
this one hangs:
