Is it? I was confident that AM_CFLAGS is unset by default, but CFLAGS (from autoconf) is "-g -O2" by default. And no you shouldn't change CFLAGS in configure.ac, please. That's an user-assignable variable, distributions cry every time that we have to patch a CFLAGS="$something" in configure.ac. Especially when that's to set/unset -O and -g flags depending on a debug/release build (hint: distributions want debug information with optimized builds as well!). -- Diego Elio Pettenò — Flameeyes flamee...@flameeyes.eu — http://blog.flameeyes.eu/
