[PATCH] Turn off sibling call optimization w/ frame pointers

[Matthias Urlichs]

Frame pointers are supposed to enable debuggers to reliably tell
where a call comes from. That is defeated by GCC's sibling call
optimization (aka tail recursion elimination).

This patch turns this optimization off when compiling with frame pointers.
