The default was --enable-debug. A while ago, that was changed to --disable-debug.
I think we should reconsider that and/or this whole area. There are several things all lumped together under --enable-debug and/or --enable-debug-gdb One is a bunch of optional compiler checking options - the stuff Gary is working on now. Another is not stripping symbols and whatever is needed for using gdb. Another is a bunch of run time sanity checks - things like crash if foo is NULL. Another is a bunch of optional printing. This is useful for chasing obscure bugs. You can run ntpd from the command line with -n and -d or -D and you get lots of printout. This allows getting more info to chase some problems without rebuilding ntpd. We should probably measure the size difference and/or run time differences. The latter will take something like a busy pool server. -- These are my opinions.
