Ah, right. That is in Configure on line 5130 and on:
--8<---
: We will not override a previous value, but we might want to
: augment a hint file
case "$hint" in
default|recommended)
	case "$gccversion" in
	1*) dflt="$dflt -fpcc-struct-return" ;;
	esac
	case "$optimize:$DEBUGGING" in
	*-g*:old) dflt="$dflt -DDEBUGGING";;
	esac
-->8---

and is to preserve `old' behaviour. In the days before -DDEBUGGING and
-DEBUGGING were implemented as command line options to Configure, this
was the (undocumented) way it worked. Now that -DEBUGGING works and is
well documented in INSTALL, the old promotion should not be used.

or with commits and dates
--8<--- U/compline/ccflags.U
959f3 1999-07-25 15:10:03  180: : We will not override a previous value, but we might want to
959f3 1999-07-25 15:10:03  181: : augment a hint file
959f3 1999-07-25 15:10:03  182: case "$hint" in
f5f3c 1999-08-29 13:08:50  183: default|recommended)
959f3 1999-07-25 15:10:03  184:   case "$gccversion" in
21de4 2006-04-17 13:33:17  185:   1*) dflt="$dflt -fpcc-struct-return" ;;
959f3 1999-07-25 15:10:03  186:   esac
21de4 2006-04-17 13:33:17  187:   case "$optimize:$DEBUGGING" in
21de4 2006-04-17 13:33:17  188:   *-g*:old) dflt="$dflt -DDEBUGGING";;
959f3 1999-07-25 15:10:03  189:   esac
-->8---

Of course this behaviour can be changed. Removing lines 187..189 will
disable the old behaviour completely.

was the change to add -DDEBUGGING and -DEBUGGING to the units
