+ help
+ This will apply GCC '-Og' optimization level which is supported
+ since GCC 4.8. This optimization level offers a reasonable level
+ of optimization while maintaining fast compilation and a good
+ debugging experience. It is similar to '-O1' while preferring to
+ keep debug ability over runtime speed. The overall performance
+ will drop a bit (~6%).
+
+ Use only if you want to debug the kernel, especially if you want
+ to have better kernel debugging experience with gdb facilities
+ like kgdb or qemu. If enabling this option breaks your kernel,
+ you should either disable this or find a fix (mostly in the arch
+ code).
+
+ If unsure, select N.
