I'll remove "-g".

Sure.  Generally more optimization makes compilation slower.  Sometimes
a lot slower.  This depends on the compiler.

It is not properly documented.  In some versions of gcc the optimizer
had a bug that was avoided by using this argument.  This was before
2000, I don't know in what gcc version this was fixed.  There are also
comments that removing the option doesn't make the executable faster.
