AFAIK:
make <target>  OPT="-g -gl -WC"

I usually compile from within the IDE (tools menu).
Anjd that for me always also recompiled the packages.

That is assuming the packages are compatible with the new version. If a 
package does not work any longer then it can't be migrated, until the 
package is updated too (if available)

--debug-log= is given to lazarus.exe when you start lazarus (use a 
windows shortcut, edit it's properties)

assuming you compiled lazarus with -g -gl (and maybe -gw) and you did 
NOT strip symbol info; and ideally you did NOT smart-link:

- open the lazarus.lpi (from the ide directory)
- use "run param" from run menu, to specify the new exe (and the correct 
-primary-config-path)
- press F9

move the windows of the debugged Lazarus, so you do not mix them with 
the old one....
