For example, --disable-debug is supposed to be the default, so that
debug becomes n. But with this code from configure it will become y, at
least for me (enable_debug is unset, becomes "set" so ax_cv_debug="y":

# Check whether --enable-debug was given.
if test "${enable_debug+set}" = set; then :
  enableval=$enable_debug;
fi


if test "x$enable_debug" = "xno"; then :

    ax_cv_debug="n"

elif test "x$enable_debug" = "xyes"; then :

    ax_cv_debug="y"

elif test -z $ax_cv_debug; then :

    ax_cv_debug="y"

fi
debug=$ax_cv_debug
