For R3.14.10 Janet added -debug versions of many of the target architectures, 
so for example you can cross-build the linux-x86-debug target on a linux-x86 
host and you'll be able to run either the regular or the debug version of 
your code.  Alternatively set your EPICS_HOST_ARCH to linux-x86-debug and 
just build and use that normally.

The variables HOST_OPT and CROSS_OPT control which one gets used; set them to 
YES or NO in your configure/CONFIG_SITE or configure/os/CONFIG_SITE.*.* files 
as appropriate.

HTH,
