LDC does not strip the library into a release build and debugging 
symbols (yet) – the '-debug' version just contains a debug build 
(i.e. with assertions and debug info enabled) of the standard 
library.

Whether this is the best idea going forward can certainly be 
discussed (considering that the user most probably doesn't expect 
to get a non-optimized build of the standard library when using 
-g).
