If you configure with CFLAGS=-O3 --with-debugging=0, configure will test
the -O flag and ultimately use -O3 -O.  The latter takes precedence, so
the -O3 is effectively ignored.  To replace the optimization flag, one
is (currently) supposed to use COPTFLAGS=-O3 --with-debugging=0.  This
is surprising because COPTFLAGS is not a widespread convention.
