Thanks, but I don't want to disable optimizations by default!

I found that I can get what I want if I copy the lines

OPT_CFLAGS_YES += -g
OPT_CXXFLAGS_YES += -g

from our CONFIG_SITE.Common.linux-x86_64 to
CONFIG_SITE.linux-x86_64.linux-x86_64.

And then I remembered that I have complained about this before and it
was acknowledged that the inclusion order is wrong here, which is why
adding these lines to CONFIG_SITE.Common.linux-x86_64 didn't have the
desired effect. This might have been fixed or not (I am working with
3.15.6 ATM).

Cheers
Ben
