I'm using readline 4.1, compiled from the distribution. In other
words, I didn't get it from /usr/ports, which is what OpenBSD normally
uses.

I have a stupid ./configure question: Whenever I compile something, I
never want to have -g as a CC option. How do I tell configure not to
use -g as a CC option? I only want -O2. Usually I go through and
edit Makefiles by hand after configure is done, but that's annoying.
