[v1] How to _remove_ flags from the command line in a derived toolset?

Hello,

I'm trying to write a custom toolset for gcc which _removes_ a command line 
flag specified by the base gcc toolset.

I tried the following tool description to remove the debug flag from the 
compiler and linker command line but it dose not work. The debug flag shows 
up anyway.

---%<---
{
local GCC_ROOT_DIRECTORY = "/opt/gcc-3.4.2" ;

extends-toolset gcc ;

flags gcc CFLAGS <debug-symbols>on : ;
flags gcc LINKFLAGS <debug-symbols>on : ;
}
--->%---

For now I just copied the original toolset and modified it but is there 
another solution?

TIA, Markus
