G'day, The main reason we recommend ./configure.developer in the HOWTO is that if it crashes, the debugging symbols from --enable-debug will be valuable. Also, while it isn't in the howto, make test relies on --enable-selftest. Both these modes are turned on by --enable-developer (which is what ./configure.developer does). For productions use, ideally neither will be required. That said, we may ask for a rebuild with --enable-debug at least if it crashes, or ask to rebuild with ./configure.developer and run make test if you get inexplicable results.
