cmake release builds don't disable assertions (NDEBUG)

Is it the software you're porting that checks for DEBUG or some library
it uses?

CMake code should check for CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE and adjust the compiler
flags accordingly (if at all); so if the software itself is checking for
DEBUG but not passing (or omitting it) I'd say the bug is there, not in
Mk/Uses/cmake.mk.
