Description
When the bootstrap version of QMake (generated by configure.cmd) gets replaced by the "real" one (generared from qmake.pro) the debug version of the tool is copied to the "bin" directory and therefore used in the subsequent build process.

When qmake is built for the second time as part of the 'make' process started from the root of the Qt tree, first, the debug version is generated (and written to "bin" indeed). However, right after that the release version is built and copied to "bin" as well. Which overwrites the previously copied debug version.
So what you say is only possible if you start the build process with 'make debug' which is kind of expected.
If you mean something completely different, please clarify.
