I also don't understand why the optimization level shouldn't be used when building 3th-party extensions. Removing the -O flag for build_ext would be a regression compared to the current behavior because 3th-party extensions would suddenly be compiled with less optimization than before and extension authors would have to arrange for those flags themselves. That's fine on platforms using a compiler with a command-line interface that's simular to GCC, but the are compilers that don't (such as a number of vendor compilers for the various commercial unix systems).
