Hi Phil:

I have no objection to such a change so long as it is completely
general (any postfix string of any length that the user has specified
for any possible CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE).  For example, it should work
(to take an absurd example) if the user specifies

-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_RELEASE_POSTFIX="_my_release_version_of_this_library"

and also, of course, the case that interests you

-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DCMAKE_DEBUG_POSTFIX="d"

Please try the following change on line 176 of
drivers/CMakeList.txt where CMake does the necessary concatanation:

- "${WRITEABLE_TARGET}" ${SOURCE_ROOT_NAME}
+ "${WRITEABLE_TARGET}" ${SOURCE_ROOT_NAME}"${CMAKE_${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE}_POSTFIX}"

If that works for the two CMAKE_BUILD_TYPES and corresponding CMAKE...POSTFIX variables
above, please go ahead and commit that change.

Alan
