AFAIU it is not possible to build an non-optimized shared library at

However, this sound like a bunch of cruft work that I'll happily leave

Fine, this should fix at least #438369.

I hope this is both to get rid of the misleading '-free' suffix and to 
prepare the upload of an unstripped tarball named 'ffmpeg', right?

Allright!
