I think we were an early adopter of that one. If it is a default now we
can drop it.

It is the prefix map I worry about as some recipes do different things
with DEBUG_FLAGS. Its probably a better long term change but probably
more to debug to make it work.

It was controversial back then and was done as a speed improvement.
There is probably more refactoring that could be done here.

I was trying to keep this as a distro level opt in/out rather than force that 
decision 
on everyone...
