Yes, it's an option. We can add a set of flags for many things in 
configure to save some time.

But now, the fastest way to go for a developer is to use 'make install' 
after editing files, because normally you don't need to call again 
'make' alone if you're editing regular files.

So, for the record, if you're developing use 'make install' to test your 
changes fastly. (Handle with care)
