Hum... I apologize, I should have studied the configure options sooner.
Their name is kept as short as possible (dbglib, profprog), so I
think --enable-opts is better.

I think that's too confusing: only one option (--enable-exclopts) should be
needed for specifying exclusive optimizations.

Ok. I've commited the slightly modified patch that is attached.
