[Cialug] ./configure question

[Daniel A. Ramaley]

Is there a way to determine what ./configure options were given to a 
piece of software before it was compiled? If so, how? Unfortunately, 
the binary i have is already stripped, and i'm guessing such 
information (if it is indeed recorded in the binary as i hope) is 
removed during the stripping process.

What i'm trying to do is debug a problem with the version of AfterStep 
that came bundled with Debian Etch. I can certainly trace variables in 
the source package to see how it was built, but if there is a general 
way to pull the ./configure options from compiled software, i'd like to 
learn how to do it.
