What about build mode modifiers/overrides? That way you won't have to 
change the setting for all build modes.

Examples:

- Cross compiling: One build mode modifier each for Windows and Linux 
that only sets the Widgetset and TargetOS.
- Debug/Release: One build mode modifier each for Debug and Release 
modes that only sets the relevant settings
