I was about to propose that we have a knob for debug symbols. See
bellow comments for some my ports.

--with-debug, with-verbose-debug, --with-bnr-debug are provided by the
author and enable some some verbose logging which is much too costly to
be used in production. Also usually you don't need to enable all three.
This is different that an other switch GDBS (Gnu DebuGger Support) in
my port Makefile that does CFLAGS+=-g -DDEBUG, STRIP= #
because it helps debugging configuration problems not programming
errors.

Here DEBUG serves for symbols and unstripped binaries.
I would favor a "neutral" word (!=DEBUG) for compiling debug symbols
and not stripping binaries. The situation is similar to e.g. INVARIANTS
and WITNESS vs. makeoptions DEBUG=-g in kernel.
