So, this script can add -g to the CXXFLAGS, but unfortunately the 
symbols get stripped during linking because of -Wl,-S option passed to 
the linker.

To work around this, I need to find a way to not add this -S option to 
the linker flag in my wrapper script, but so far I'm a bit lost.  It's 
easier to add an additional flag but is very hard to remove flag manually.

Any clever ideas?
