Compiler optimisation is at work here.
Lookup "tail recursion elimination" in GCC docs or your favourite
compilers book.
IIRC, GCC can also to "tail call elimination". Both of which can
eliminate the recursive function call and effectively turn it into a
loop.
AFAIK, when gcc is called with *no* command line options, *no*
optimization will be done.
