This is something that I worry is a case that can hide bugs you're
trying to track down.  Not that it couldn't live in it's own patch that
doesn't make mainline...

But I 100% agree here and is what I was trying to convey.  You might
indeed need to turn off -g and track down a compiler problem, but this
is a very very corner case nowadays (and more likely to be hit, and
fixed, before the kernel notices, imho).
