Interestingly enough, debian packages enable that option while redhat doesn't. What are the performance implications of enabling it? Is it something huge, or only several-percent-penalty and careful-you-can-shoot-yourself-in-the-foot kind of thing?
I'm not sure there are any performance implications per-se. If I read the ./configure script correctly, what it primarily does is enable debugging symbols ("-g") and a whole bunch of C warnings. However, debugging symbols are conditionally enabled if the compiler supports them further up anyway, so really it's just the warnings AFACIT.
