[PD-dev] compile pd-extended without gcc optimisation option for debug

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Have you tried searching puredata.info for "gdb"?  There is some info  
there for how to do it.  Its relatively easy once you know the right  
steps, I've done it a few times.

For debug builds, you just need to make sure you have "-g" as a flag,  
and remove any "-O" flags and 'strip' commands.
