the default compiler options already do that. we're picking up the -g
because someone decided (in the autoconf tool ;-) that everyone should
have -g for gcc unless it's overridden. (I consider it a nuisance, myself,
since no one seriously will _ever_ install production code with -g). However,
filtering it out of the CFLAGS is also a nuisance. (I've done it on some
packages, probably should do it for Lynx as well).
