The question is, what to do with the debug configuration.

Is this only a problem with MSVS2005?
No, MSVC 2015 is also affected. I renamed __cpuid() to __cpuid22(),
and it wrote:
error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol ___cpuid22 referenced in function
_FLAC__cpu_info_x86
fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
So, all currently available MSVC compilers cannot create debug builds
for such code.
But I have no idea are they really necessary or not.
If so, I'd be inclined to jsut
drop support for it. Its over 10 years old and aren't there free versions
of more recent MSVCs available?
IIRC nobody complained about dropping support for MSVC 6/.NET/2003
during the development of FLAC 1.3.0.
But e.g. Audacity switched from MSVC 2008 to MSVC 2013 only at the end
of 2014 year: <https://sourceforge.net/p/audacity/mailman/message/32922567/>.
FLAC 1.3.1 was released at about the same time.
Maybe now it makes sense to remove MSVC 2005/2008 support... but anyway,
it won't help with DCE and MSVC debug builds.
