I don't see how fixing the configuration flags has anything to do with -march 
switches in kdesvn-build. Also, it exports stuff like -Wl,O1 which is not a 
great idea with unpatched binutils (makes things slower for KDE due to a 
bug). But I guess -Wl,O1 perfectly goes in-line with the -O0 -g3 -g ;)

Well, we need a distributor compliant flag as well, because distributors want 
DWARF2 debug info but no speed penality (debug information is stripped from 
the files and packaged into -debuginfo subpackages). Therefore changing 
--enable-debug to -fno-inline -fno-reorder-blocks has a serious performance 
penality.
