"-g" was added to CXXFLAGS in the GLIBCXX_CHECK_COMPILER_FEATURES configure
test in libstdc++. This option causes G++ to warn: "-ffunction-sections may
affect debugging on some targets". CXXFLAGS also includes "-Werror" causing
the warning to become an error. This results in -ffunction-sections
-fdata-sections being disabled.
"-ffunction-sections -fdata-sections" works fine on AIX and should be used
because it generates functions as intended and improves performance by allowing
the AIX linker to reorder functions.
