#528 support for -g option in CFLAGS [patch]

Milestone: GC 3.0

./configure ignores CFLAGS='-g' (unless I use --enable-debug)

The following patch:

prevents the removal of -g[3]
removes -g from default options, for compatibility purpose with previous releases of GnuCOBOL (maybe you should consider -g as a default with GCC for GnuCOBOL 3.X)

Side effects: if you CFLAGS=-g, you'll lose -O2 (but keep -finline-functions, which is an -O3 optimisation...).

So make sure to use:
CFLAGS="-g -O2" ./configure

Looks good to me. Committed in [r2639]. I couldn't find out why configure removed -g - it's been there since [r1] at least.
