Near the top of the /usr/src/sys/i386/GENERIC file, is the line:

makeoptions     DEBUG=-g  # Build kernel with gdb(1) debug symbols

Is this line really necessary? If I don't intend to ever debug a
kernel, why should I leave it? It would seem like I could
save some time compiling a kernel if I just remove or commented out
that line.
