By "enabling debug settings in make.conf", I do:
  Add "-ggdb" to "CFLAGS"
  and add "splitdebug" to "FEATURES"

"equery uses sqlite" says:

So I guess, the "debug"-useflag is not necessary for
backtrace. But as you say: I guess, it won't harm either. ;)

On the other hand:
There is a general rule: Changing compile options will
change the binary produced. So an error being present with
normal compile options, _might_ disappear with debug settings.
