Compiling without debugging symbols

[José Luis García Pallero]

On appendix E of the manual (Installing Octave) says:

On an otherwise idle Pentium 133 running Linux, it will take somewhere
between 1-1/2 to 3 hours to compile everything, depending on whether you are
building shared libraries. You will need about 100 megabytes of disk storage
to work with (considerably less if you don't compile with debugging
symbols). To do that, use the command

          make CFLAGS=-O CXXFLAGS=-O LDFLAGS=

instead of just `make'.

make CFLAGS=-O CXXFLAGS=-O LDFLAGS= is used to compile Octave without
debugging symbols? I don't understand exactly if "To do that, use the
command" appoint to the parenthesis words
