Yes, what you currently see is me gradually cleaning up
configure-scripts and gradually removing historic artifacts having
remained from RTEMS's makefile fragment-based configuration.

Though "-g" having gone list is an accident, this all currently is WIP,
and with me not yet being sure were we will end up. At least, dropping
it entirely and permanently (i.e. require users to explicitly specify
it) would be a much cleaner and simpler approach than what we currently
use.

ATM, try CFLAGS_FOR_TARGET or adding -g to CFLAGS_OPTIMIZE_V.

maintainer-mode has nothing to do with CFLAGS.

maintainer-mode is addressing disabling/enabling generation of generated
code (Makefile.ins, aclocal.m4, configure, preinstall.am, rpcgen
generated code).
