This sounds like unsubstantiated FUD to me.

Debug compilation was introduced to turn off compiler and linker
optimizations that make it difficult or confusing to step through code.
And release builds don't create symbol tables, but generally that can be
overridden.

What does that have to do with reverse engineering or commercial vs. OS
software?
