I can't see how this would help in this situation, we need a default,
not a dependency (OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=n should be possible on ARM).

It's not the only option that sets defaults depending on the
architecture and I can't see why it should be a bad thing.

Below is the patch with CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE.
