dude... sorry... there is another difference... it woke me up...

withOUT miscellaneousoptions.xml, "normal ide", "debug ide" and "optimized ide" 
default to "automatic" for cleaning files and "clean + build" defaults to 
cleaning common files...

my miscellaneousoptions.xml sets "debug ide" to "clean all" and leaves the 
others in their defaults...


digging back into the logs i see that without miscellaneousoptions.xml in play, 
the notices the compiler params have changed whereas with 
miscellaneousoptions.xml, there is no notice of this since the state file has 
been cleaned... ok, i can understand that... but something is different, though, 
because with miscellaneousoptions.xml, lazarus.exe is smaller than without 
miscellaneousoptions.xml being used...

and there's also the discrepancy i noted previously in my post with the fpc 
lines where one has 8 of those lines and the other has 10 of them... but i 
believe that that is attributable to the inclusion of the chmhelp package with 
miscellaneousoptions.xml...

so, really the only differences that i've found have been the inclusion of the 
defines "-dDEBUG -dVERBOSE" and the cleaning of the sources...


my build flow with lazbuild is
   1. clean up + build all
   2. normal ide
   3. debug ide
   4. optimized ide
