I think the issue is that with autoconf you setup your compiler flags
(debug / optimized etc) for the entire build tree when you run
./configure. However, while developing you may want 90% to be optimized
and only the remaining 10% (a single or a few subpackages) which you are
actively debugging to be build with debuginformation. At least that's an
issue I have ;)
It is possible to add some magic to the makefiles which will allow you to
build debug targets in an otherwise optimized build tree, but it's not
exactly straightforward.
