Subject: Compiler flags for libapi and libtraceevent

I noticed that tools/lib/api/Makefile has these conditional
assignments, similar to tools/perf/Makefile.config:

ifeq ($(DEBUG),0)
ifeq ($(CC_NO_CLANG), 0)
  CFLAGS += -O3
else
  CFLAGS += -O6
endif
endif

ifeq ($(DEBUG),0)
  CFLAGS += -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE
endif

But it doesn't set DEBUG to 0 by default, and nothing under tools/perf
exports its value of CFLAGS or DEBUG.

tools/lib/traceevent/Makefile doesn't seem to have any logic to enable
optimisation or Fortify.

Shouldn't these libraries both have optimisations and Fortify turned on
by default, like perf itself?

Ben.
