225 <parameter>CFLAGS="-O2" CXXFLAGS="-O2"</parameter>: By default,
226 <application>Autoconf</application> sets CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS to
227 "-g -O2". That results in binaries and libraries being built with
228 debugging symbols which make them bigger. Override the default
229 flags to omit -g compiler flag so the final libraries are smaller.
