Although the text of that warning is correct, users might find the
reference to eglibc slightly confusing if it's perf that they're trying
to build.

I'll get that fixed.

Also, as I mentioned in a different thread not all that long ago when
someone submitted a similar patch for gcc-runtime, the proliferation of
parse-time python functions to bash SELECTED_OPTIMIZATION around doesn't
seem like all that good a thing: this will cause extra overhead for
everyone, even those who are not using -O0 and have no interest in perf.

We have users who desire to build their system at different levels of optimizations for debug, size, profiling, etc. So they do change the default optimization levels from -O2 to -O0, etc. The python fragement is used to only adjust -O0, as -O1 (or -Os) work correctly.

--Mark

And, finally, it remains slightly unclear to me that this is really a
problem that the metadata needs to be solving.  I haven't seen any
particularly convincing explanation of why this can't or shouldn't just
be fixed in the distro configuration.
