Sorry if that seemed like a rant.  Anyway, I have managed to get that
functionality by inserting this into the configure script from autoconf:

CFLAGS=-O2" "$CFLAGS

Giving make a default to use if no flags are present, and also making
it possible for the user to add "CFLAGS=-g" if they wish.

Please excuse my ignorance and frustration ;)
