It is. IMHO the most important reason is not that somebody would build
first with just -O2 and then later on to debug the code would build it again
with -g -O2 and hope the code is the same, but by making sure -g vs. -g0
doesn't change generate code we ensure -g doesn't pessimize the generated
code, and really many people compile even production code with -g -O2
or similar. The debug info is then either stripped, or stripped into
separate files/not shipped or only optionally shipped with the product.
