Issue: dev-util/ninja-1.11.1-r2 adds debug flags (-g/-ggdb) on its own.
Discovered on: amd64 (internal ref: ci)

NOTE:
while at the end the binaries are stripped, debug flags slow down the build process, and take more disk/ram.

The slowdown and increased resource usage should be rather small for a package like ninja, which only compiles ~30 source files.

If this really bothers you, I would suggest submitting a pull request upstream to fix the issue.

If there is some more serious problem this causes, we can take another look at it.
