remove optimization-inhibiting behavior from configure's --enable-debug this behavior turned out to be counter-intuitive to users and in any case it's unnecessary. optimization can be disabled explicitly using the --disable-optimize option, or both can be achieved without any enable/disable options by passing CFLAGS="-O0 -g".
