Well, I've seen too much ebuilds [1] checking for a defined $DEBUG 
to enable/disable debugging. What about adding a proper USEFLAG?

[1] find /usr/portage/ -name '*.ebuild' | xargs grep "DEBUG"

not a bad idea, really

/etc/make.globals 
# Debug build -- if defined, binaries won't be stripped 
#DEBUGBUILD=true
