This is a mistake, IMHO.  If you test the program compiled with a 
different set of optimization switches than the binary you will ship/use 
in production, your entire testing might be invalid, because you tested a 
different program.  Optimizations can rearrange the code a great deal.

Therefore, I suggest to use the same optimization level in testing as in 
production.  Luckily, GDB and RHIDE can debug optimized programs, so you 
don't need to compromize.
