Ah, you wanted --enable-dbgutil to disable -O2, the same way that 
--enable-debug does.  Had missed that point.  Hm, as I said, I prefer my 
--enable-dbgutil --disable-debug builds to be -O2.  So if we change 
--enable-dbgutil to imply -O0, I'd like to see that changeset also offer 
a reliable way to get back -O2.  (And I'm not sure having to set 
C(XX)FLAGS can be considered reliable enough, given that pre-set 
C(XX)FLAGS impact more decisions in our build system than just -O2 vs. 
-O0.  But maybe I'm asking for too much.)
