Ideally, there should be separate compilation runs with and without
debugging.  Some things only break in a non-debug run, some bugs are
only detected (or detected earlier or diagnosed clearlier) in a
debugging run.

It might be worth it to try more variations too, e.g. the 2-byte and
4-byte Unicode options.
