The normal build is an optimised release version so debugging can be a bit
difficult as variables are optimised out into registers and the execution
order of statements can jump around.
If you require a non-optimised version, then edit config.nmake and replace the /O2
flag from LOCAL_CFLAGS with /Od, clean up the build (nmake -f Makefile.nmake clean)
and then rebuild.
