does not respect also CXXflags

[Comment 6 Justin Lecher (RETIRED) 2010-12-21 11:08:51 UTC]

And to get it complete, please attach output of
emerge --info eix

This is clear: USE=debugging is not meant for normal usage;
it is only meant for debugging and will (among other things)
set *FLAGS appropriate for debugging.

is the first program, that i see, that does not respect ldflags with debug use

Most programs have not implemented a ./configure --enable-debug.
It turned out that I get the most useful bug reports this way:
For most cases, the short instruction which is printed in case of a segfault
(to reemerge with USE=debug and how to produce a backtrace) is sufficient,
and sufficiently easy for user and maintainer - no need to discuss details
about CXXFLAGS/LDFLAGS in the "generic bug" case.
