I fixed things up so that my --enable-dbgutil build compiled and linked. But it is entirely possible that this then broken stuff for a build with just --enable-debug or debug=true but not --enable-dbgutil.

Due to the fact I need sw entirely build for debug, I'm revising part of 
the sw module, in order to use OSL_DEBUG_LEVEL, to realign the code to 
what you and some other developer did.

So using debug=true on the command line should do the trick.
At the same time, on the build command line you can specify the 
corresponding debug level with dbglevel=n, where n is the number that
end up into OSL_DEBUG_LEVEL, giving you some different level of 
debug-compiling-code.
