In autotools, the devel/rel/pre state gives some defaults for all these
options (there is a table in the INSTALL file) but these defaults can
be overridden on the command line (--disable--assertions...).

Therefore I would use something like 
  (env.has_key('assertions') and env['assertions']) or (! env.has_key('assertions') and mode == 'debug')
(assuming the code above is working python and env.has_key tells me
about command line options.

However, I do not see how this change could fix the assertions problem on
windows.
