Set build flags differently for release builds

[rhelmot]

Right now all builds are -g -O2, which seems bad. We should probably have some good way to detect the build profile and switch between -g -O0 (maybe -g -O1?) and -Ofast or whatever other flags we want for release.

Are we sure we need this? The only people that will likely be diving through pyvex code is us anyways, and we can make ad hoc changes to the flags in that scenario. Otherwise, I don't see why we ever want anything but -Ofast...

[rhelmot]

Of course not, but I'd like my life to be a little easier...

[zardus]

If you think you'll save more time building in build profile detection than changing the compiler flags when needed, then it makes sense of course. I'm not so sure that it'll amortize, though.

if I cared about amortizing profits instead of doing the right thing at all times I would be living my life very very very differently...

[zardus]

Hahahaha, fair point :-)
