Tools team expressed a desire to have the ability to specify them manually as well.

> These are user facing options, not cc1 flags? I wouldn't expect these to be exposed to users, and they would just be implied by -g. Is there a need for this? Even if there is some need for these, I don't see anything testing for these with only -g
These should be independent of -g, user facing options. One of the use cases is profiler, where debug information is needed (-g), but no registers need to be reserved, no nops inserted.

Do you mean use '-' instead of '_' in attribute spellings?
