I'm not sure, but perhaps in the Project Info >> Build, add
a new variable, say librarysuffix, and give it different values
like "_d" or "" in different configurations. Then in the target
Info >> Build >> Product Name, use the variable in the value,
such as stlib$(librarysuffix). I haven't done this specifically,
so I'm not sure if it will work.

You can also add a script phase and refer to $librarysuffix, such as
cp libsomething.a libsomething$librarysuffix.a
