-O* flags imply many other flags and have many side-effects (such as inlining, certain optimizations, certain arch-dependent optimizations etc.), which implicitly gradually change over time.
Indeed they do, none of those change the Application Binary Interface though.
* -ggdb3 does. If GCC doesn't support it, your package won't build nor will it be usable.
And, as I would normally presume you'd know, they do affect things like hampering debugging of code (which, being the -debug package might be kind of the point).
Yes, -O2 always reduces debug-ability of the code, so what is the problem you are trying to solve?
You are requiring making the debugging worse in Fedora, for no good
reason that
I can see. If you are going to hold to that line, due to it being policy, I'd like to know how I can go about getting this policy fixed.
In this case, I am going to be hard - Fix the package.
As I said I can make the package worse so it passes review (I'll upload a 0.7 package tomorrow), but again I'd like to know how I get this problem with policy fixed ... so at some point in the future I can unbreak the package.
I guess you will understand, that I consider your answer to be non-acceptable and inappropriate.
