Honestly, a lot of modules fail, sometimes in subtle ways, in debug mode,
(including very popular ones like "websocket" used by socket.io), as it is
very common for the javascript-side to simply
"require('../build/Release/foo');", which will not be the right path on a
debug build, or might be a path to something stale from a previous build,
etc. When I was forced to use a "debug" version of Node at some point
(which makes npm implicitly install in --debug mode by default), I
eventually had to alias npm to always pass --debug=false to have anything
with native code not break/misbehave, so I am now very wary of building
anyone else's module in debug mode.
A much simpler question might be, can you just build your one module in
debug, and leave everything else alone?
