Latest KODI source compiles always as “Debug Build”

Krypton branch:
I had build Kodi several times without any problems, but when I tried to built it today Feb. 24, it compiles always as a “Debug Build”, which means the log on my Android Box is flooded.
What I’ve tried so far:

Code:
make  -j 3 -C tools/depends/target/xbmc release


^^ this worked before for me.

Code:
export Configuration=Release ./configure --with-tarballs=$HOME/Build-Android/opt/xbmc......

Code:
in tools/depends/target/xbmc: make release

nothing worked.
Any ideas?
