Error: Building package bzip2:x64-windows-static-release failed with: BUILD_FAILED
Please ensure you're using the latest portfiles with `.\vcpkg update`, then
submit an issue at https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg/issues including:
  Package: bzip2:x64-windows-static-release
  Vcpkg version: 2020.06.15-nohash

Additionally, attach any relevant sections from the log files above.

Additional context

This is different from https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/issues/12689.

Looks like the build process expects to always find stuff related to the debug build, even if just building release (and probably vice-versa).

What about reopening and merging PR #12772 to fix this issue quickly ?
In my environment #12772 is working just fine, and a similar change was made for pcre in #12629.
