* bug#6538: Removal of C_DEBUG_SWITCH changes CFLAGS

Package: emacs

Configuring Emacs 23.2 on Solaris 2.10 with a non-GNU cc, one gets
generated Makefiles containing:

CFLAGS=-g -O 

Configuring the current trunk, one gets

CFLAGS=

The cause appears to be the removal of C_DEBUG_SWITCH.

It is possible other platforms are affected, I did not check (likewise
with LIBS_DEBUG).


The configure logic (faithfully inherited from cpp) is weird. Eg
C_OPTIMIZE_SWITCH goes unused with non-GNU compilers.

LIBS_DEBUG was just -lg, it can be safely ignored.

Not anymore.  
C_DEBUG_SWITCH was weird, it used to specify optimization flags too,
that's probably why C_OPTIMIZE_SWITCH is unused.
C_DEBUG_SWITCH was just -g -O for all platforms that bothered to set it.  
We get that anyway for non-GCC compilers.

Yes, it was all very weird...

What about irix6-5: "-g3 -O -OPT:Olimit=3500".

I noticed that AC_PROG_CC tests for -g, and adds it to CFLAGS if
supported. It also adds -O2 when using gcc. Perhaps this could be used
to further simplify configure.in...

IMO it's not worth the complication.
