How do I print a list of "Build Settings" in Xcode project?

Question

Alternate Titles

• List of Xcode build variables
• Print a list of Xcode Build Settings
• Clang Environment Variables
• Canonical list of Xcode Environment Variables

Is there a Canonical list of Xcode Environment Variables that can be used in Build Rules etc?

Answer 1

UPDATE: This list is getting a little out dated (it was generated with Xcode 4.1). You should run the command suggested by dunedin15.

dunedin15's answer can give inaccurate results for some edge-cases, such as when debugging build settings of a static lib for an Archive build, see Slipp D. Thompson's answer for a more robust output.
