That description most likely is incomplete. On the prompt that line gives error, so I presume that CFLAGS='-O0 -g3' is a setting either in bash or tcsh shell. Can you please tell me precisely how this setting should work, and may I recommend change it in the documentation. Once I have finished successfully the compilation and the debugging I don't mind doing that. It might be that for experts like you these things are obvious, for a C debugging beginner like me, they are not.
