Re: common.make -- debug=yes

You are of course correct that it does not preclude it. On certain systems I too have happily debugged optimized code. On my present system (gdb 7.6.1, gcc 4.9.3, msys/mingw32, Windows Server 2008 R2) I must say debugging -O2 optimized code is definitely inconvenient, often tiresome, sometimes impossible.

GNUstep Makefile Package documentation [1] says if debug=yes, optimization is off. (It further says that the user must override the optimization flag if both debugging information and optimization are desired.)

Note that OPTFLAG := $(filter-out -O%, $(OPTFLAG)) clearly intends to do so but fails because the optimization flag already entered ADDITIONAL_FLAGS (hence the suggested patch).
