The -g0 stuff was not done capriciously.  I'd prefer not doing it
myself, as a developer, but g77 *users* seemed to prefer having
a smallish libf2c.a.  So I added the -g0 stuff myself a few g77
releases ago, IIRC.

I'd be happy if libf2c.a was handled however other libraries built
as part of gcc (libgcc1.a, libgcc2.a, whatever) were handled regarding
-g.  Forcing -g0 was a stopgap solution, after trying to provide
ways for users to strip the library by editing the Makefile's
(and running into the usual compatibility problems).

Maybe this can all wait for libtools to become the norm or something.

In the meantime, since egcs is in development mode, -g is fine by me.
