[ I aggregate my response to both of your emails ]

Thanks!

I will create .debug files for x86, but I am going to remove the ‘-g’ option.
If anyone wants it, he would need to provide CFLAGS during configure.

I will cleanup the .debug files for each arch separately since other files
are cleanup’d that way.
