gnu/usr.bin/cc/cc_tools/Makefile just builds tools that are used for
building gcc itself and are non installed anywhere outside of $OBJDIR.
I doubt disabling -g there buys you much, but having it there is also
of questionable value. Verdict: could not care less either way.

All of the gcc/contrib changes are useless - we are not using any of
stock Makefiles.

sys/amd64/conf/GENERIC - please understang _why_ it is there before you
remove it. When you do, you will probably will drop the idea.
