You can pass the specific optimization flags that you want. The confusion
is that MPICH2 is turning optimization on by default, so even the "debug"
build is using optimized compiler flags.

As for "strange errors", you have to send more information: configure.log,
what you expected to happen, what actually happened, and the entire error
message.
