Now, as to why for me BUILD_CONFIG isn't bootstrap-debug: configure.ac
activates this by default, but then checks if contrib/compare-debug
actually works for comparing a debug and non-debug .o file.  And for
SuSE systems it doesn't, because our system compilers encode some command
line options (among them -g) into a special .comment section.

Any chance you could adjust the script to strip out the .comment section
you mentioned elsewhere, so that you get faster bootstrap with
bootstrap-debug testing too?
