    I'm using nmake for my projects, and I translate the debug version and
    release version the same way, (i.e. always debug compile option) and
    just call linker with no debug info option to make release version.

    I may be missing some funcy things about compiling two versions,
    and I maybe missing some optimization possibility, but I had nightmares
    having some problems that appeared only in release versions, now I'm
    free from such kind of bugs. What I test is what users get. :)

    For some kinds of special debug build, like similating devices, or to
    test on computer not supposed to run the release version, etc.,
    I define some constant in header files.
    So, I rather make debug version at source level, than compiler level.

    Just as info, HIH, though it may not help you.
