Add --disable-debug-symbols to disable building with debug
symbols and --optflags to override the optimization flags
passed to the compiler.

QEMU builds with debug symbols.  But during make install the binary is
stripped unless you specify --disable-strip.  What is the need for
--disable-debug-symbols?

I can understand this part.

No, please.  We already have --extra-cflags, --extra-ldflags, no need
for another one.

I haven't tested, but my understanding is that just using:

--extra-cflags="-O0"

to your configure line should fix the "-O2" issue, no?

My understanding is that:

gcc -O2 .... -O0 .....

is understood as -O0, no? Whatever you pass in --extra-cflags is put at
the end of the command line (otherwise, it is a bug somewhere).

Not really sure if we should add this under the --enable-debug option.
But I can agree with this option.

Later, Juan.
