So you want to have a way to force -O0 for all compiled files? Something 
like "bash configure --with-debug-level=release 
--with-optimization=none", or possibly "make OPTIMIZATION=NONE"?

Or are you happy with the optimization level of a slowdebug build, and 
only want to adjust the value of PRODUCT and ASSERT for hotspot to match 
what's done for a release build? Something like "bash configure 
--enable-hotspot-product-build"?
