Subject[PATCH RFC 1/2] Makefile: Never use -fno-omit-frame-pointer
According to Segher Boessenkool and GCC manual, -fomit-frame-pointer
is only the default when optimising on archs/ABIs where it doesn't
hinder debugging and -pg. So, we do not get it by default on x86,
not at any optimisation level.

On the other hand, *using* -fno-omit-frame-pointer causes gcc to
produce buggy code on PowerPC targets.

If Segher and GCC manual are right, this patch should be a no-op
for all arches except PowerPC, where the patch fixes gcc issues.

p.s.
Obviously, I didn't test this patch on anything else but PPC32. ;-)

Segher, do you know if all GCC versions that we support for
building Linux are behaving the way that GCC manual describe?

Thanks,
