Okay, but it seems odd that the only way to disable the "-g -O2" is to
set CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS in the environment. IMHO, it would be better to
add "--enable-debug" and "--enable-optimize=level" options, so that is
easier to disable either or both flags without forcing the user to set
C/CXXFLAGS just so that can disable the flags automatically set by
configure. Note that, I'm not advocating that autoconf not set these
flags automatically by default. I just think that there should be an
easier way for users to disable them.
