And likewise your code should NOT have some logic like the following in
it's build system.
if(debug mode)
         ignore user cflags and use our own cracked out cflags

I've seen an upstream configure script where if you tell it you want
debug mode, the only thing it does is force CFLAGS to '-O -march=i386'
and not strip the binaries itself - this of course failed dismally when
you tried to enable debugging on non-x86 platforms.
