Just to see what happens, I'm building again from scratch with MAKE_JOBS=1.

In my earlier log file, ISTR that "libdxflib.so" is built rather early
in the process, the other bits that make up "libqcaddxf.so" are built
later, and the shared library is not linked until later still.  So, it
would be interesting to see if the single-job build follows that library
from start to finish in one mode before switching to the other mode.
If so, the resulting release and debug-mode libraries would be built
correctly.

It would be a real shame if the simplest fix is to set qcad
MAKE_JOBS_SAFE=no.

It takes long enough to build on a fast machine with many cpus and lots
of RAM running MAKE_JOBS=$(($(sysctl -n hw.ncpu) + 1)) and WRKOBJDIR in
tmpfs.
