I don't like this.  Why not automatically enable it when optimizations
are disabled instead?

It is automatically enabled when optimizations are disabled, I just
added some help text because users could wonder why it's not enabled
(eg. they do need to disable optimizations).

The text is still confusing.  But before fixing that I think we should
consider enabling this unconditionally if optimizations are disabled.
What's the point of having a disable switch for this?  (We already have
far too many configure parameters.)

I think it was to stifle any concern for packagers having to deal (or
not) with this feature.
I am completely fine with removing the additional switch.


As one of the concerned packager I'm against removing it, builds must be predictable.
