Ken,

How to build GDAL in debug mode is a closely guarded secret.
But if you promise not to tell anyone else, I'll pass it on.

Set the CFG environment variable to debug before building and
the debug options will be used.

eg.
$ export CFG=debug
$ make

Remember, it's secret.  I do this in a completely nonstandard
way to ensure no one but me (and now you) can debug GDAL.

Best regards,
