Compiling without debugging symbols

[José Luis García Pallero]

On appendix E of the manual (Installing Octave) says:

On an otherwise idle Pentium 133 running Linux, it will take somewhere between 1-1/2 to 3 hours to compile everything, depending on whether you are building shared libraries. You will need about 100 megabytes of disk storage to work with (considerably less if you don't compile with debugging symbols). To do that, use the command

          make CFLAGS=-O CXXFLAGS=-O LDFLAGS=

instead of just `make'.

make CFLAGS=-O CXXFLAGS=-O LDFLAGS= is used to compile Octave without debugging symbols? I don't understand exactly if "To do that, use the command" appoint to the parenthesis words
