   Maybe, but then the bugs that show up only without MKDEBUG won't happen.
   Really there need to be builds of the power set of options, but of
   course that's infeasible.

Yes, but setting MKDEBUG=yes in the autobuilds has a nontrivial
benefit too: if anyone uses the autobuilt sets and finds a bug, the
debug.tgz set will be available to aid debugging.
