Not really unless a user wishes to default to not stripping builds,
disabling omit-frame-pointer and other "cool" things users can find to
build their systems with *wry smile*
Generally, I dont think you even want to know what the "worst case"
optimizations we have had reported failures with in the past were ;)

Default packages are all built with
CFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=i686 -pipe"
CXXFLAGS=${CFLAGS}
This however is easily overridden in the general configuration, where
also some examples are avaiable. (architecture selection as well as
other flags.)

I quite agree, unfortunately signal:noise is sometimes boils down to
patience on various bugsquads, or failing that, user-reeducation,
something we perhaps could become better at.
Glad to have communication going in this issue :-)
