As code is traditionally known to occasionally behave differently for 
different -O levels, I'm fine with my personal builds by default using 
the same -O2 as production builds.

Re "unless explicitly told so"---how is one supposed to tell the build 
system?

(Or am I confusing what you want to say, and the part of your paragraph 
starting "as soon as" shall only apply in the context of explicit 
--enable-debug=-sc/?  Likely.)
