As William says, set CFLAGS to something without -g when running
configure. Onc configure has finished, you can use e.g.

	make CFLAGS1='-g -O2'

to override the CFLAGS value passed to configure.

A detailed description of the issue can be found in:

http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/grass-dev/2008-May/037803.html

This has been fixed in the 6.4/7.0 development versions.
