At least I understand why I always got debug builds with optimization, 
which does not ease the use of debugger... and why it takes so long to 
build.

As occasional developer, I do not want to dig to deep in build options - 
that is also not my interest. So with --enable-symbols, I was really 
expecting to get symbols without optimization, not wanting all asserts 
outputs.

Could it not stay like that? Or how do you obtain this effect (symbols, 
without optimization, without all asserts output?) I really do not want 
to take time to search for such thinks, hacking LO is already during my 
free time.
