As long as you use valgrind, you'll cover the problem.

The misleading results from gdb could cause developers
to waste time though, so getting the Ubuntu crash rules
adjusted would still be a good idea.

Variables can be overridden on the command line. Do this:

make OPTFLAGS="-Os -g3"

I'm using this right now, since I need to build without Pango
and SVG, and since I'm building for the Geode processor:

LANG=C make NOPANGOFLAG=NO_SDLPANGO SDL_PANGO_LIB= SVG_LIB=
SVG_CFLAGS= NOSVGFLAG=NOSVG OPTFLAGS='-g3 -O2 -fno-tree-pre
-march=geode -mtune=geode -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -mmmx -m3dnow
-fomit-frame-pointer -falign-functions=0 -falign-jumps=0 -DOLPC_XO
