As mentioned on IRC, you can put

  CFLAGS = -g -O2 -Wall -Werror -Wdeclaration-after-statement

in config.mak.  The Makefile includes that if it exists, so it is a good
place to gather your custom settings.

One trick I like to do in every Makefile is

  O = 3
  CFLAGS = -g -O$(O) -Wall <blah>

That way 'make O=0' does a build suitable for debugging.
