[PATCH 1/2] Use -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables if C program is compiled without debug info on x86


.eh_frame is added in default on x86 and x86_64 so that DWARF unwinder
is always used, but prologue unwinders won't be used at all.  IOW,
prologue unwinders are not tested by regression tests.  If the test is
intended to compiled *without* debug info, we shouldn't generate any
debug info (.eh_frame for example) at all.

This patch is to disable async-unwind-tables generation if the C program
is intended to compile without debug info on x86-like target.
