make debug=yes

Warning: if you compile libraries sometimes with debug, and sometime
without, you might confuse the system, particularly if you are
absent-minded or if you are not 100% sure of what you're doing ... (it
often happens to me for example when I mix the two types of libraries).

So the main suggestion is ... either build everything without debug, or 
build everything with debug, but try avoiding mixing the two types of 
builds. :-)
