Compile everything with `ocamlopt -compact -inline 0'.

The remaining problem (branches out of range for large function
definitions) is an ocamlopt problem, and would need to be addressed like
we did in the PowerPC code generator. However, lack of access to an HPPA
machine (and of general interest for this architecture) means that this
will probably never be done. I'm therefore closing this PR.
