$ ./configure --enable-build-mode=debug #symbolic debugging
$ ./configure --enable-build-mode=production #optimized code
$ ./configure --enable-production=profile #for use with gprof
$ ./configure --enable-build-mode=clean #'clean slate'
$ ./configure --enable-profiling #for use with gprof

Regardless of whether support for symbolic debugging is enabled,
