I notice that if the platform's template doesn't set CFLAGS, then
configure will give you -g in CFLAGS whether you ask for it or not
(courtesy of AC_PROG_CC).  The --enable-debug configure switch thus does
not function as advertised.  If we are going to say that --enable-debug
isn't recommended for production, don't you think there should be a way
to turn it off?  Perhaps this means that all the template files should
force a setting of CFLAGS; or else that we should not use the stock
version of AC_PROG_CC.  Or maybe just set CFLAGS to empty right before
AC_PROG_CC?
