I have a hacked gcc-config profile that calls a perl script for all the gcc 
executables that forces my cflags to be what I want and aside from ten 
packages on my entire system I'm able to run without any problems.  That 
includes X (though not glibc).  I think strip-compiler flags might be a good 
idea for some systems but clearly on mine it's not necessary.
