Guess what.... it won't work the way you believe it to do ... why? Because
there are hardcoded -g's which won't get substituted. I'm trying to make
the whole process more consistent. That means we should use the same
mechanisms all over the tree. At the moment it's a whole chaos....

I seldom use debuggers to debug egcs. And if I intend to do so I'll compile
it completely with debugging. For normal programs I don't need a debugable
libstdc++.....
