Ah, that is done via 'makeoptions DEBUG=-g' in the kernel configuration
file, right?  I didn't realize that was kept in for a release.  But even
in that case, amd64 is somehow different from the other arches, which
all get compiled with -O instead.

If people prefer that to stay as it is, I'll change the diff so only
-frename-registers gets removed when clang is used, as clang does not
support this flag.
