In that case I guess suggesting added --compile-type to configure is out
of the question.

As an example, go to mythplugins/mythmusic/mythmusic, edit the already
generated Makefile.
At both CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS add a -g (almost anywhere is safe, so just
put it as the first argument).
Then search for install_target, there'll be a line like
	-strip --strip-unneeded blablabla
add a # so it's
	#-strip --strip-uneeded blablabla
do "make clean all install" and you should be good. Same method for
other plugins.
