MOC is building with MDd_DynamicDebug runtime libraries, even though my project is building in release mode, any ideas?

feistykittykat

For some context, I am trying to build PythonQt in release mode. I've posted here and here about this issue already for some additional context. I've narrowed down my build issues to what I believe is a problem with MOC misbehaving with MSVC. However, I am no MOC expert (or even amateur), so I can't really speak to why this would be happening. This is only a single project that I'm building, which is why I'm convinced that it has to be some problem with the MOC build settings. My errors are as such:

Error	LNK2038	mismatch detected for 'RuntimeLibrary': value 'MD_DynamicRelease' doesn't match value 'MDd_DynamicDebug' in com_trolltech_qt_core_builtin0.obj

Error	LNK2038	mismatch detected for '_ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL': value '0' doesn't match value '2' in com_trolltech_qt_core_builtin0.obj

I am using MSVC 2017, and my vcxproj file looks like this:
