heya,
using the -Og for DEBUG=1 builds gives me many 'optimized out' stuff

It was introduced in here:
  e8b7ea4356fd perf tools: Improve setting of gcc debug option

- here's backtrace from segfault I was looking at, current code:

(gdb) bt

#12 0x0000000000478981 in main (argc=2, argv=0x7fffffffe200) at perf.c:609


- and same crash with above patch reverted:

I haven't tracked the history of -Og, maybe it gets better from some gcc version?

If there's no clue, I rather revert this one, because it does
provide the proper debugging experience ;-)

thoughts?
