The Ardour wscript file loads an Ardour helper module called
"autowaf.py". This module will force specific CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS in the
default build. If I am not mistaken, the default build is intended as
a debug build and will enforce its own flags.

This is therefore an Ardour-specific trap, and you almost certainly
want to configure Ardour with "--optimize" for packaging purposes.
