Comment # 12 on bug 90182 from Emil Velikov

Paul small tip from a fellow Arch user:
The quickest/easiest way to get debug symbols is to add 'debug' in the OPTIONS
array of the PKGBUILD and rebuild the package [1]. This way separate *debug*
packages will be created.

The configure's --enable-debug does something a big different :-)
