The python function is copied from eglibc recipe which does similar
job to force build the package with optimization enabled.  I think
it's not just a distro misconfiguration.  Sometimes it would be
convenient for user to select a global -O0 optimization level (to
create a more debug-friendly rootfs) for most packages, while
automatically switching to -O2 for those which can't be built without
optimizations.

I think it would be more helpful if we can switch to -O1 or -O2 in
such case, instead of throwing out an error.
