Yes, looks like automake is not handling += assignments right, what is 
your automake version?
there seem to be no problems on 1.8.2 and higher, so you may want to 
update if your version is below that.

I'll fix that.

Not really, what -g does is add debbuging information to the executable, 
but doesnt make the compiler generate unoptimized code, check here:

http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-3.4.3/gcc/Debugging-Options.html#Debugging-Options

"Unlike most other C compilers, GCC allows you to use -g with -O. The 
shortcuts taken by optimized code may occasionally produce surprising 
results: some variables you declared may not exist at all; flow of 
control may briefly move where you did not expect it; some statements 
may not be executed because they compute constant results or their 
values were already at hand; some statements may execute in different 
places because they were moved out of loops.

Nevertheless it proves possible to debug optimized output. This makes it 
reasonable to use the optimizer for programs that might have bugs."

So all it should take is a call to "strip" to remove the debug info from 
the library, still I'll see if I can
find the way to remove those from the release build at least.

Cheers!
