	Well, it's a really old -current but the problem is still there
	in today's sources....

>Description:

	DEBUG_FLAGS, when defined during the compilation of a library,
	is supposed to allow for generation of libraries with debugging
	symbols in them.  It doesn't.

>How-To-Repeat:

	cd /usr/src/lib/libncurses
	make clean; make DEBUG_FLAGS=-g; make install
	nm -g /usr/lib/libncurses.a
	Notice the absence of debugging symbols.

>Fix:
	
	Put a .if !defined(DEBUG_FLAGS) around the `@$(LD)' command in
	all of the implicit .o-generating rules.
