Bitcoin on Windows using Boost Debug Libraries?

[phelix]

Is there a reason Bitcoin is using boost debug libraries on windows?

https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/makefile.mingw

Code:

BOOST_SUFFIX?=-mgw46-mt-sd-1_52

Linux makefile uses non debug libraries.

Non debug seems to work fine, too:

Code:

BOOST_SUFFIX?=-mgw46-mt-1_52
or
BOOST_SUFFIX?=-mgw46-mt-s-1_52

(These two libraries look identical to me.)

This got changed quite recently.
My guess is that someone was testing with debug libs and then forgot to put it back to non-debug, before committing. Or just overlooked it.

But this makefile is not used for the official (gitian) builds anyway.

Still some people use it for their own windows builds.
