From
 	http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/develfaq.html

In order to help with bug reports, be sure to add the following 
to /etc/make.conf so that gdb back traces contain useful 
information:
CFLAGS=    -O -g -pipe
STRIP=

For getting backtraces, see
 	http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces
(Might be a nice idea to put this link on develfaq.html !?)
