If debugoptimized turns on DEBUG, then I don't think performance will
be decent as that enables paths like nir_validate. Maybe we should
change debugoptimized to not do that. Not sure.

I think some of the messaging got confused -- autotools does specify
-g in the default CFLAGS, but that doesn't really mean it's a useful
debug build. -g -O2 is really a release build, with debugging symbols.
