To summarise: I agree with using -Og if it is available.  But I
disagree with reverting 1166ecf7 in the case where it isn't; if -Og is
not available, we should stick with -O0.

I'm open to persuasion in the latter point but I would like specific
examples of problems (and then I would form an opinion about the
specific problems), not generalities.

Doug, would you like to, for now, propose a patch that uses -Og if it
is available, but otherwise falls back to -O0 ?  NB that if
convenient, this can be done simply by always specifying -O0 and
putting -Og after it if it is supported.

Thanks,
Ian.
