No matter which way you do it there are problems. You identified one such 
problem. However if we make the default be with debug enabled, then we are 
not testing the code on a regular basis the way most users will use it. If 
we have any compiler errors that only occur when optimizing, we won't see 
those until we do a release tarball. It has been my experience that that 
type of error (ones when the code is compiled with optimization enabled) 
are far more common than ones when debugging is enabled. I think the 
default on master should be as close to what the greatest number of 
external consumers will use. IE I think we should leave it the way it is 
and fix the errors you noticed when --enable-debug was used.
