Thanks.  Obviously I missed that that change would eliminate 
ENABLE_SYMBOLS option altogether.

Anyway, sounds like not many people use this option, and I happened to 
be one of the few that use it (?)  So, I wrote a wrapper to make to 
revive this use case.  Here is the script:

---
#!/usr/bin/env bash

if [ "$1" == "-g" ]; then
     echo "Enabling symbols..."
     shift 1
     make CXXFLAGS='$(call gb_LinkTarget__get_debugcxxflags,$(1)) -g' "$@"
     exit 0
fi

make "$@"
---

I save it as lo-make and put it under ~/bin.  With this, running

lo-make -g -sr -j8

inside a module should just enable debug symbols, and nothing but symbols.

I hope others like me find that useful.

Best,

Kohei
