[Xen-devel] [PATCH v4] tools: detect appropriate debug optimization level

[Doug Goldstein <cardoe@xxxxxxxxxx>]

When building debug use -Og as the optimization level if its available,
otherwise retain the use of -O0. -Og has been added by GCC to enable all
optimizations that to not affect debugging while retaining full
debugability.
