Here's a better idea: use two different build trees and install trees: mkdir build-opt build-debug cd build-opt ../source/configure -C --prefix=/inst-opt # CFLAGS will be -O2 -g make all check install cd .. cd build-debug ../source/configure -C --prefix=/inst-debug CFLAGS=-g make all check install Then link against '-L/inst-debug/lib -lfoo' or similar. Advantage of this approach: you can have a debug tree, 45 different optimized trees (with different optimization flags), 32bit and 64bit trees, one done with another compiler, and whatnot else, without the need to adjust your package for any of them.
