Yeah, some packages try to strip Release builds (e.g. through the -s flag),
and -O3 is also semi-common.
KDE, on the other hand, enables some debugging code in RelWithDebInfo which
we really don't want in shipped packages (only Release defines NDEBUG). The
Release mode flags of course don't include -g, but the -g gets picked up
from the Fedora optflags anyway.
