Actually, I was just going through a policy bug report on this, and it
is not actually mandated, just suggested:
Policy 4.1:
"The -g flag is useful on compilation so that you have available a full set of
debugging symbols in your built source tree, in case anyone should file a bug
report involving (for example) a core dump."
But you'd still have to hack the X build system to build the debug libraries,
but not compile the other packages with -g.
