Sorry, I don't understand the question.  Are you asking what gcc
options will produce a different CFG?  If so, this question would be
better asked on gcc-help@gcc.gnu.org.  One answer is that you will get
a slightly different CFG from options like -funroll-loops.  In general
there are a number of options which could change the CFG.  But I'm not
sure why you are asking the question.
