On MacOS, you want to link to the non-debug version of the libraries, 
always. If you want to debug your program, you can tell the dynamic 
loader to load the debugging version.

On ELF systems (Linux), there's no equivalent switch. And since it's too 
easy to load both libraries into memory (with undesirable results), we 
(Trolltech) are considering how to solve this for 4.2. One thing is 
certain: -debug-and-release will produce libraries with the same soname. 
The question is whether they'll be installed in a separate directory or 
with a different name (a la MacOS X).
