I just checked, and the flags aren't used in the kernel build process:

Here I stripped the -02 (via ~/.config/dpkg/buildflags.conf) and as you can see 
the kernel wasn't recompiled, so the flags weren't taken into consideration, 
and probably it uses the default set of flags which all debian systems use. So 
still what could be wrong with the gcc10 compared to gcc9?
