Here is what is going on according to the documentation of the AC_PROG_CC
you get from 'info autoconf'.  By default it chooses the -g flag if your
compiler will accept that flag (which is apparently the case for you.) But
if you want to override that default you must set the environment variable
CFLAGS to whatever option you like that is appropriate for your compiler,
i.e., use

make 'CFLAGS = '

or

make 'CFLAGS = -O2'

I notice in the default Makefile generated on my system that CXXFLAGS and
FFLAGS also contain the -g option so you will have to set those variables to
whatever compile options are appropriate for your c++ and fortran compilers
as well.

Rafael has suggested stripping your libraries, and my guess is that would
work as well.
