What submodel options are you using? If you're compiling with -march=i386, I wouldn't expect -Os to have much effect. Note that, of all architectures, GCC is almost certainly most efficient on IA-32. Although I haven't done any benchmarks against other compilers on $arch!=IA32, the ones I've seen claim that the native compiler generates much better code.
