Oh there are serious differences. By changing options in GCC you can produce for instance code which is highly optimized to be executed in parallel fashion on the multiprocessing machines. PCC doesn't want to do that. When you are compiling driver you just want to produce small, correct, serial machine code which is going to be executed at once.
