"Custom options" is a plain field, simply passed to the compiler.
Mostly used for uncommon options that have no GUI element in the IDE.

Additions and Overrides is for complex projects with many targets and
flags (e.g. release/debug, Windows/Linux, experiments, many
developers).
The later allows to enable/disable flags with simple mouse clicks.
