PRODUCTION is defined in platforms/Cross/vm/sqAssert.h

The !defined(NoDbgRegParms) phrase allows someone to define an alternative
on the command line via a -D argument, so it allows the
    # define NoDbgRegParms __attribute__ ((regparm (0)))
def to be a default, rather thna the only way.

Both gcc -v & gcc -E can help debug these kinds of things.
