That's certainly not the best answer.

There are three types of compiler command line flags which come from the
Fedora config:

- - general optimization

- - architecture selection

- - other code selection (like security options)

The latter two shouldn't be changed, they should be used as provided by
the build system.

But it is wrong to prevent a package from using different optimization
options if it is obvious that the upstream optimization options have
been carefully chosen.  The options from the build system are in this
area only a good default.
