When I last looked, default was something like "-O2 -g". There is a
"make install-strip" to remove debugging symbols on _install_, and
Debian is using this feature (not --diable-debug) to build stripped
binaries and libraries.
Using --{enable,disable}-debug is used to enable/disable code level
debugging. For example, this can set a symbol _DEBUG_ in config.h, so
there can be fragments of code that will look like:
#ifdef _DEBUG_
fprintf(stderr, "some debugging info\n");
#endif /* _DEBUG_ */
