You could create a project template with the two build modes.
This is somewhat static. That means when you want to change the -gl
into -ghl then you have to change all projects.

To get it more dynamic you can store the options in a package:
Create a package, let's say bartssettings.lpk. Define
two build macros bartssettings_options and bartssettings_modes. Add
two values to bartssettings_modes: release and debug.
Add in conditionals:
if bartssettings_modes='release' then
  bartssettings_options:='-O3'
else
  bartssettings_options:='-gh -gl';

Then in the usage / custom options set $(bartssettings_options).
Every project that uses this package can now choose the build
macro bartssettings_modes to get the options.
