Perhaps this patch was a bit premature.  There are still some bugs, like 
some compilers build executable code w/ "-gstabs" but is treating it 
like "-g -s -t ..." which is not what is desired.  Hopefully, this can 
fixed by using -g if it works (tested by AC_PROG_CC) and -gstabs if gcc 
is detected (also by AC_PROG_CC).  I think testing -Wall and friends 
will work, and hopefully no compilers will treat them as "-W -a -l ...". 
  Expect an improved patch in the next few days.
