 That's the point. And I'm working to having the same flags in the whole
 process.... I just wonder why nobody had compiling problems due
 to this behaviour....

 I think the ideal behaviour is the possibility to control everything by the
 configure script. Which isn't possbily right now. At the moment you
 have to export variables and hope that this will do the trick and no hardcoded
 flags are in your way. I still get those annoying -g's in bootstrapping process
 even if I set CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS accordingly. Not every user who's
 trying a official release of egcs knows how to override configure setting and
 won't know how to use a debugger either. So it's just rational to have
 a --disable-debug option to configure which will save lots of space and
 time without much fiddlings...
