Description
This is a follow up of #41142 and #40648.
CMake's debug flags do not include optimization at all. With the cmake portgroup we get -Os. But debug symbols with optimization are not helpful (see comment:4:ticket:41203).
The other point is that CMake's default release flags are -O3 -DNDEBUG and not -Os -DNDEBUG. AFAIK, -Os equals -O2 plus extra code size reduction. So anyone relying on CMake's default will get less optimized builds.
A Portfile workaround would be:
if {[variant_isset debug]} { configure.optflags -O0 } else { configure.optflags -O3 }
I suggest at least modifying cmake-1.0.tcl as such:
variant debug description "Enable debug binaries" { configure.args-delete -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release configure.args-append -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug configure.optflags -O0 }
to correct the debug optflags.

Since I've started to litter CMake-based ports with logic like that mentioned in the description, it makes sense that I add this to my plate.
Specifically, this is what some of our ports are doing - or with slight variations - and that should arguably be handled by the CMake pgs:
if {[variant_isset debug]} { cmake.build_type Debug configure.optflags -O0 } else { cmake.build_type RelWithDebInfo # Clear optflags for non-debug build; controlled by project configure.optflags }
