-Og -g0 is needed for GDB testsuite which expects unchanged CFLAGS produce no
DWARF while adding -g to them produces the proper (-Og in this case) dwarf.
>From GCC standpoint it was -Og -g0 -g.

-Og is not usable with GDB testsuite without heavy work on the testsuite.
If this PR is WONTFIXed I can adjust the few GDB testcases to cope with the
missing location with -O0 -g.

For types up to double "register" keyword stores it to int registers like %rbx.
long double is really stored in stack memory in the code so this GDB testcase
intended for register-stored values has nothing to test and it can be skipped
(for long double).

I do not understand why "register" does not keep the value on FPU stack.
