I think what Eric meant was

cd /path/to/your/project
make dist-clean
mkdir release_build
cd release_build
../configure [RELEASE_OPTIONS]
cd ..
mkdir debug_build
cd debug_build
../configure [DEBUG_OPTIONS]


I assume you use Automake and Libtool and since your libraries are only 
used within the project, there is no reason to install them. See section 
on convenience libraries in Automake manual
http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Libtool-Convenience-Libraries
