The culprit seems to be autoconf itself, or, more specifically, the
macro definitions that it uses internally. If it detects that the 
compiler is gcc, it sets itself CFLAGS to "-O2 -g".

We thus need a way to either prevent autoconf from setting these
variables, or simply revert it. I guess the difficulties are to do that
in a generic way without any sideeffects.

You may ask on the autoconf list whether there is a way to influence
this behavior.
