Just about every default flag in one of standard CMake configurations
has been "wrong" for someone at some point.  Perhaps we need to provide
an easier way for projects to select default flags on a per-toolchain
basis.

Alternatively, perhaps it is time to generalize debugging and optimizing
flags like preprocessor defs, -fPIC, etc. have been generalized.
