I think CFLAGS should be checked for -g rather than using $debug here.
I'm not really a fan of --enable-debug despite having been the one who
added it, and I usually just put -g in CFLAGS.

Also, minor nit: it's best to avoid () in shell scripts when not
needed, since it usually leads to forking. {} can be used for grouping
but it's not needed here either as far as I can tell.

Note that you still have a missing newline at the end of the awk
script.
