Don't do horrible magic with CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS The purpose of the lines being removed is to suppress the -g option from the CFLAGS or CXXFLAGS, when --enable-debug is not used. This is stupid because it is up to the user to pass these flags or not. But it is not only stupid, but utterly broken: if your CFLAGS contains a flags like -mfloat-gprs=double, then this option gets truncated to -mfloat simply because the option contained the -g string! Completely ridiculous piece of code, so get rid of it.
