Nor do I. > config_args='-de -Dusedevel -DDEBUGGING' > cc='cc', ccflags ='-fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -I/usr/pkg/include -I/usr/local/include', That diagnostic message from perl is bad, in that it's unclear about where that -DDEBUGGING is needed, and hence open to misinterpretation. What it meant was that one should recompile with -DDEBUGGING in the flags to the C compiler, not to Configure. What you need to do is either edit the config.sh in your existing build tree to add -DDEBUGGING to both the ccflags and cppflags lines (then run ./Configure -S then re-run make). Or blow the whole lot away (or at least delete config.sh and Policy.sh) and re-configure with -Accflags=-DDEBUGGING and remake. Or alternatively re-configure with -Doptimize=-g which will also turn on -DDEBUGGING in the C compiler flags. I'm not sure of a good rewording for that message.
