Ari,

The default flags for configure are normally "-g -O2" if nothing else
is specified.  I used to filter out -g but that was an unusual behavior and
I have dropped it for 1.5.0b1.

You need to set CFLAGS=-O2 and CXXFLAGS=-O2 if you want to avoid debug
information.

To the best of my knowledge this is normal behavior for configure based
packages.

Best regards,
