Hmm. I agree that what you have here is sensible. I am wondering if
it would be better to have VS_FF_DEBUG set dynamically in FILEFLAGS in
the future though. But that's no material for this patch.

I have been testing and checking the patch a bit more seriously, and
the information gets generated correctly for dlls and exe files. The
rest of the changes look fine to me. For src/makefiles/Makefile.win32,
I don't have a MinGW environment at hand so I have not directly
tested but the logic looks fine.
