This is a FAQ.  Quote from /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf :
%%
# CFLAGS controls the compiler settings used when compiling C code.
# Note that optimization settings above -O (-O2, ...) are not recommended
# or supported for compiling the world or the kernel - please revert any
# nonstandard optimization settings to "-O" before submitting bug reports
# without patches to the developers.
%%

This particular warning with optimizations superior to -O has been fixed in
-CURRENT.  There are still other problems with high optimization levels
though.
