Right. It isn't even 3K additional code on that platform, but I still don't
like the principle of linking with debug-code that won't be used.

The debug code size may also increase in the future (I hope to add better
run-time malloc tracking/leakage and overwrite detection in the future), and
it does add a range of public symbols to the library that I really would
prefer to keep hidden from the general libcurl users.

I'd rather remain having this somewhat awkward for the few developers who want
to change between a plain lib and the CURLDEBUG one. In my development, I just
make two separate build paths. One for normal builds and one for debug builds.
