It is worth adding that to use this feature, one needs to include
config.h and use #ifdef ENABLE_DEBUG. There are some places in DHCP
code where this functionality could be helpful.

Would it make sense to make --enable-debug also change -O2 into -O0?
The code compiled with -O2 is often aggressively optimized and it's
often difficult to track it in debugger.
