You are suffering of a well-known problem.
I documented it recently in the Trac ticket:

http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/3346

GDAL debug build links against non-debug Microsoft C/C++ Run-time
libraries - /MD flag is forced in nmake.opt. However, when you make
debug build of your application, by default your project links against
debug version (see in error msvcr90d.dll)

I fix this problem myself by configuring GDAL debug build to use
/MDd flags - I replace /MD with /MDd in nmake.opt.
