[CMake] Compiling with debug info on OSX

[Cristian Bidea]

If you're using clang or gcc setting the -g compile flag should do the 
trick.

set (CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -g")
set (CMAKE_C_FLAGS "${CMAKE_C_FLAGS} -g")

If you're setting the CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE then you should use the 
corresponding configuration flags:

CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_DEBUG
CMAKE_C_FLAGS_DEBUG
CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELEASE
CMAKE_C_FLAGS_RELEASE
