OK, though I hope we will be able to remove -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE later.
I think this should be fixed in the cmake port and/or cmake.port.mk
somewhere, looks like it strips libraries but not executables.
I don't think we can set RelWithDebInfo in the general case because it
changes the name of installed .cmake files, but that's not a problem
with open62541.
