That would be a good addition to the Wiki page, but: does -O3 break it alone, 
or with -fomit-frame-pointer, or is it just -fomit-frame-pointer?  What about 
other flags that could result in the same?

I don't think I've ever seen it being used there.  FWIW, unlike 
CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS/FFLAGS, %configure doesn't set LDFLAGS at all.

Maybe ask the maintainer to explain why the chosen flags are more important 
than working -debuginfo, and if they really are, why the packager is 
knowingly shipping a useless -debuginfo instead of explicitly disabling it 
(with a comment explaining why) in the specfile?  Or forward to an 
appropriate committee to decide if there's no consensus?
