at this time the Packaging-Guidelines do not mention whether or not
%{optflags} should / must be used. They are used everytime

a ./configure script and for this reason would not use the
%{optflags}. The flags in %{optflags} contain not only optimization
but also security flags. For this reason I suggest that the
Guidelines state that they have to be used. This will also help new
contributors to know about this.
I agree, but I'd make that a recommendation instead. There are a
couple of packages known to break with some optimization flags, most
notably such using hand-crafted asm and not tolerating any
misalignments of structures.
