It depends on the setting, I thing it only applies to build macros. But 
they can be used to change settings in other packages.

Anyway, the initial statement (that was even before the question of how 
to recompile packages) was "do we need a checkbox, to build smallest?". 
And I still say no. It can be done via build modes.
- It may not be easy at current.
- And there may be a case for a pre-defined build mode.
- But there is no case for the "build smallest" checkbox.

There may be a need to make certain setup tasks easier or more obvious. 
But that was not part of my original answer.

Put
    $(MyProjectOpts)
in each of your packages "tab: Other" > "Custom Options"

Then in your Project define under "IDE Macro Values" (for the desired 
build mode)
Macro Name: MyProjectOpts
Macro Value: -g- -O3 -XX -CX -Xs

and that should do.
