Nope, or so it seems.  I invoke AC_PROG_CC to get @CC@ set up.
It falls thru into a tangle that decides if -g is approprate,
in particular AC_PROG_CC_G (which was renamed _AC_PROG_CC_G in
later versions of autoconf making it hard to hack around).

The extent of it's definition of '-g is approprate' is that
the compiler is sufficently like a gcc.  This is all in
/sw/share/autoconf/acspecific.m4 on my powerbook.

I'm confused that they are so casual and insistent about
pushing it into CFLAGS.
