autoconf, basically. autoconf's check for whether it can use -g is

Sorry, I dropped the ball on that. I didn't like your patch, but
didn't have time to compose a better one at the time. I just took the
time, installed the following patch instead. Please try CVS Autoconf
on your compiler installation to see whether this approach works for
you.
Thanks for following up on this.
Unfortunately I haven't been able to test this yet. CVS autoconf now
appears to want "help2man", which I have not yet succeeded in
building/installing on Cygwin. (The attempt sent me on quite a wild
goose chase, though: help2man wants perl Locale::gettext wants fresher
gettext (than Cygwin packages) wants a C# compiler (!...fortunately this
dependency could be disabled).)
