-NDEBUG is only default for libxfs/ AFAIK:
# grep -B1 NDEBUG libxfs/Makefile
# don't try linking xfs_repair with a debug libxfs.
DEBUG = -DNDEBUG
For everything else, default should be -DDEBUG:
configure: DEBUG=${DEBUG:-'-DDEBUG'} debug_build="$DEBUG"
so default is -DDEBUG for everything except libxfs, with -NDEBUG;
I'm not sure what '' does - break, apparently. Seems like maybe just
a bit of a makefile mess and maybe old crufty code.
Patches accepted and all that. :)
But maybe it's time to remove it as an option, and just DTRT everywhere.

Some, yeah. I don't claim to have gotten it all cleaned up yet,
though. We also keep track of what Coverity finds, chipping away
at a backlog of potential defects...
Thanks for the report, though, there's always more to do...
