Remove -fomit-frame-pointer and -ffast-math gcc flags

Reported by: mjakubicek Assigned to: davea
Priority: Minor Milestone: Undetermined
Component: Client - Build Version:
Keywords: patch Cc:

Description

Is there any particular reason to have those flags set as default? They can make debugging much harder or impossible and should be avoided if possible. I ask because they are currently prohibited for Fedora, so that I had to remove them anyway in the Fedora package. (patch included)
