I see. pr_debug() seems to be only relevant in sec/segtree.c, other
spots can be replaced by printf in src/proto.c
I think it would be good for us to have the debugging option enabled
in embedded builds at this stage, at least as much as we can get in
some easy way. We can ask people to run commands with --debug and
paste the result of it.
We can probably have something like:
#ifdef DEBUG && !MINIGMP
#define pr_debug(fmt, arg...) gmp_printf(fmt, ##arg)
#else
#define pr_debug(fmt, arg...) ({ if (false) {}; 0; })
#endif
so only segtree debugging is turned off and document this in the
INSTALL file.
