This doesn't appear to be implemented.  You could file a feature request if
there isn't one already.  I believe what you are asking for is support for
STATIC_LIBRARY_FLAGS_<BuildType>.  There are several target properties that
are already build-type aware, so implementing this probably wouldn't be
extremely difficult.
