While trying to build Node.js 6.9.2 today, it became apparent that

some build failures when building Node.js in debug mode that are not present in
the production builds.
Given that the debug builds only have ever worked on the i686 and x86_64
architectures, I'd like to suggest that we just remove it from the build process
entirely. The only change in output would be that the /usr/bin/node_g binary
would no longer be produced. (If preferred, we could also convert this to a
symlink to the /usr/bin/node binary on the off chance that someone is depending
on node_g somewhere).
OK, since no one has requested otherwise, I'm going to go ahead and just drop
node_g. If someone opens a bug about it, we'll deal with it then. (And I'll try
to keep an eye on whether upstream fixes the breakage in a future release).
