[arch-dev-public] RFC: Dropping -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE from packages using cmake

[Antonio Rojas via arch-dev-public]

Hi,
 Currently most of our packages which use the cmake build system are built with 
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release. This provides a reasonable (according to upstream) 
set of C(XX)FLAGS defaults which are appended to and override our default 
C(XX)FLAGS. So, for instance, our cmake packages are being built with -O3 
instead of our default -O2. Besides the inconsistency that this brings to our 
binaries, IMO it's not a good idea to override our default C(XX)FLAGS unless 
there's a good reason to. This will also cause issues once we start building 
debug packages by default (-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release also adds DNDEBUG).
 Therefore I'm proposing to drop -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE from all our cmake 
packages, building them with our default C(XX)FLAGS as all other packages. 
Comments?
