From Makefile.global:
##############################################################################
# COPT
#
# COPT is for options that the sophisticated builder might want to vary
# from one build to the next, like options to build Postgres with
debugging
# information included. COPT is meant to be set on the make command line,
# for example with the command "make COPT=-g". The value you see set here
# is the default that gets used if the builder does not give a value for
# COPT on his make command.
