gmake COPT="-g" all (after a clean) worked for me...that leave -O2 on,
though.  Gcc seems to do a reasonably good job anyway.

We are doing -Wall on Linux, BTW, in case there's any doubt (Tom mentioned
it was used on his platform but I think he's an HP-UX kinda guy).  At
least, when I do a make on my RH 6.1 box with the current sources "-Wall"
is on.
