Good idea. I'll add a new flag --disable-extra-optimization
which disables all compiler flags (except -O2 and -g) and a CFLAGS_OPT
variable that will be added to the regular compiler flags.
Then you could do:
1. autodetect optimization flags (default):
./configure
2. set all compiler flags by hand:
CFLAGS="-g -O3 -ffast-math" ./configure
3. add extra compiler flags:
CFLAGS_OPT="-m486 -O3 -ffast-math" ./configure --disable-extra-optimization
> Should the final release generate a stripped library, which is smaller ?
Yes, but automake 1.4 doesn't support it, only the latest CVS snapshots
of automake and libtool do :-(

Yes, I'm working on it.
What do you mean with 'if configure fails'? That should never happen!
