Sure, however, from the logs below it looks like you've compiled Linux kernel 
using -O2 flag.

LKRG itself doesn't change how the kernel symbols are build.

that issue. If you manually compile your kernel from the sources using -O2 
optimization and your configuration allows for such optimization then yes.
