Building UNSTRIPPED binaries in ports?

[Dan Mahoney, System Admin]

Hello,

I am encountering a bug with named-9.4.1-P1 that I am attempting to work 
with ISC on, that I have built from ports (dns/bind94).  However, I need a 
non-stripped version of the binary to get a backtrace.  I can't "roll my 
own" binary because it may be related to some way that the port is built 
so I need to maintain a similar build environment.

Is there some make.conf or compile time flag that I can set that would 
prevent the stripping from happening?

Or would I just have to manually edit the makefile someplace -- and if so, 
can anyone give a pointer as to where?  Setting the strip command to 
/bin/true or something, perhaps -- but I can't be sure if the 
strip_command is being used.

I've found references in the porter's handbook that state all binaries 
should be stripped, but I think in cases like this it would be useful to 
give the user a universal option to not do so.
