Not completely undocumented. The CG has said to run configure with --disable-optimising for as long as I can remember. > Any idea how this could be improved? A good start would be to refer us to the standard. For some of us, LilyPond is our primary or only exposure to autoconf, which naturally leads to the when-in-Rome approach to maintenance. My web searches on CXXFLAGS have led to the manual for automake, which I'm not sure is used here, and various disputed answers about autoconf on community Q&A sites. — Dan
