The help-text of BR2_TARGET_OPTIMIZATION reads:
---8<---
Optimizations to use when building for the target host.
---8<---

If you want to build with -O0 -g3 -ggdb3 , then just set it to that.
Adding knobs for each -Ox and -gx is not userfriendly but odd, given
that there always was BR2_TARGET_OPTIMIZATION and that this is (or
should be anyway) used _everywhere_.
