Or 'CFLAGS=-O2 -g -pipe' would be better.

At least 'config.status --version' seems to output somewhat useful 
syntax now.  For a while it lacked quoting.

Since ./config.status --recheck is apparently not allowed to create 
new files, I often cut-and-paste the output of 'config.status 
--version' into the command-line in order to re-configure.  At one 
time the entire command was mentioned in one line, but now it is 
split.  This is a continuing sore point with me.
