LIBMANAGEMENT_OPTIMIZATION special settings on Linux with debug symbols

[Baesken, Matthias]

Hello, while looking at the JDK native lib optimization levels, I noticed this special setting :

make/modules/java.management/Lib.gmk

ifeq ($(call isTargetOs, linux)+$(COMPILE_WITH_DEBUG_SYMBOLS), true+true)
   LIBMANAGEMENT_OPTIMIZATION := LOW
endif

Why is it there ?
I removed it  in out internal tests and saw no issues.
Do we still need it these days ? Was it maybe done for very old  gcc versions ?


Best regards, Matthias
