I like the idea, not 100% sure of the implementation. I'll give it some
thought, but I agree that something like this would be good. I did mention the
'special debugging flags' already on the wiki page (in the section on
reproducing fuzz-test failures). The libtool thing is not really my area of
expertise, I just use it :P

Good idea. I will fit that in somewhere.

Not that I'm aware of. I've just gotten used to debugging optimized code, which
is a terrible answer, I know. If you think of something better, patches are
welcome :)
