I can second you in this way Achim,

I recompile every day digiKam/DigikamImagePlugins/Kipi-plugins to test 
--enable-final option (i have a dedicaced development computer for that based 
on Mandriva 2007). 

Like 0.9.0-final will welcome in a near future (i will post a message with 
more info about this subject in this room), for each fix in svn i try 
--enable-final at the same time to be sure this option will work at final 
release date.

I would said than i have work hard to fix some huge problems in implementation 
to support this option. Now _all_ digiKam implementation support 
--enable-final, and especially all digiKam core...

Some folders require to have this option disable, for example libs/dcraw, 
libs/jpegutils, libs/lprof source code witch use pure C Ansi implemention 
witch cannot be compiled properlly in this case.

Nota : Angelo, i have tested --enable-final with all kipi-plugins : all work 
fine.
