I'm fairly sure that somebody did something about this recently, after 
problems were reported building on some platforms.

I don't know how many people rely on the IDE and in particular on the 
debugger, even I have taken to using Lazarus for this. I think possibly 
that the time has come that without an explicit option to include it the 
debugger (i.e. calls to libgdb) should be excluded by default.
