(See also the "maximum debuggability" note in the manual.)

We quietly dropped -g since on the riscs -O2 rearranges code so much
as to make it almost undebuggable anyway.

That's the way.

Yep, if you want those extra flags too.

(For compile-only flags like -pedantic you can slip them into CPPFLAGS
and let the rest be guessed, but that's not good for -g because you
need that in the link too, which doesn't use CPPFLAGS.)
