Hello Aron,

-O0 is still used with my patch because later optimization flags
override previous ones.

Hardening flags shouldn't make debugging more difficult because
no unfriendly optimizations take place and if -dbg and non-debug
package are built with the same flags no unexpected behavioral
changes happen (e.g. crash in non-debug package because
stack-protector is used but no crash in -dbg package; one
exception are the CPPFLAGS which are disabled with -O0).

And using hardening flags for the complete package make automatic
checks for missing flags (e.g. blhc) possible.

Regards,
Simon
