Why is it still necessary to edit the linux makefile in order to switch between release and debug or 32 vs. 64 bit?
The windows one has had proper targets at least for the former issue for ages.

Oh and any reason why it only uses -O2 in release mode?

It's not, use MODEL=32 or MODEL=64 if you want to switch between the compiler being compiled as 32-bit or 64-bit.

Ah true, always forget that way to set variables.

It's the same convention that druntime and Phobos using for choosing to between compiling the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of themselves.

-O2 is standard across most linux distributions. There's some discussion here: http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/CFLAGS#-O2_or_-O3.3F you can find more with some googling though.
