If there's a possibility to determine the optimization mode, we could
reduce the application code in case of -O0 to a simple warning output.
But currently I do not see, how this could be done. Specifically because
it depends on the build mode of the libraries, not the application code
itself.

Otherwise we should remove this app from the trunk. Users typically get
quite frustrated if their first contact with Nut/OS fails at such an
early stage.
