I am opposed to this patch, because

* GNU software should not care about the limitations of commerical stuff 
and should only care about gdb.

* We should stay with the GCC's defaults and not diverge from these.

* Users, who are facing issues with commerical stuff can always manually 
pass appropriate options to CC if they need it.
