I'm surprised then that you did not see the same warnings as I got.  
Perhaps, your newer compiler is more sophisticated about detecting when 
the variable is used and initialized and more intelligent in its warning.

I have found that --enable-debug is the default and --disable-debug does 
nothing.  When I want a non-debugging version from a tarball, I manually 
strip out the debugging symbols.
