The output from the smoke tests isn't exactly informative of how you really
get it enabled.

Try either

  -Doptimize=-g

which will both turn on debugging info at the C code level, and enable
the C pre-processor symbol DEBUGGING which compiles in perl's debugging code

or

  -Accflags=-DDEBUGGING

which will just do the later. (So you'll get the default optimised build,
but with perl's debugging code too.
