That would be `debugoptimized` not `release`, from [1] i see that `release`
is -O3 with no debug.

I know that Debian builds with 'CFLAGS=-g -O2 -flto=auto -ffat-lto-objects
-flto=auto -ffat-lto-objects -fstack-protector-strong -Wformat
-Werror=format-security -fno-omit-frame-pointer'
'LDFLAGS=-Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions -flto=auto -ffat-lto-objects -flto=auto
-Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-z,now' ; this is from pg_config for v18.
