i recall working with at least four different build modes in the last year or 
so... especially when working on the script i wrote for updating lazarus and 
using the default build modes that come with...

   clean up + build all
   normal ide
   debug ide
   optimized ide

yes, these are apparently for the IDE but i also had them, at one time, for each 
of my "projects" i was working on... until that section of the configurator was 
disabled... i use the term "projects" in quotes because they were projects for 
me but not projects (lpr) in lazarus... they were and still are mostly just 
individual pas files connected together by a few uses lines...

i rather miss the above, too... it was very easy to switch from debug mode to 
normal or optimized and then compile a new executable... it made it so much 
easier for me to compile four flavors of the same executable for testing and 
distribution if necessary...

of course, the above are only the default ones that come (came?) with lazarus... 
one can easily add their own and name them whatever they want with their own 
settings...
