Probably not, no.

BuildDebugBinary only applies to .exe files -- i.e. things like
omniNames and catior. I'm pretty certain that the debug versions of
the DLLs do have full debugging symbols in them. They're certainly big
enough. If they don't, it can be fixed by changing
MSVC_DLL_CXXDEBUGFLAGS and friends in mk/win32.mk.

The reason omniidl fails with BuildDebugBinary is that omniidl.exe is
linked against a non-debug python15.dll. I think the full Python
installation includes a debug version of the Python dll, so modifying
the omniidl make rules to use that (when BuildDebugBinary is on)
should fix it.

Cheers,

Duncan.
