Hi, |
2 |
|

I actually have a patch (in bug #45756) that does the job.. But there |
4 |
are two problems which have thus far prevented me from pushing more on |
5 |
this, first I experience bizarre brokenness with gdb 6.x (#45756).. And |
6 |
second, binutils<2.14.90.0.8 only copies the debug section, but not the |
7 |
symbols into the debug file. So using the currently stable binutils, we |
8 |
have to use strip -g (and it procudes empty .debug files if -g is not in |
9 |
the cflags) so its not that useful without using the ~arch binutils (and |
10 |
being able to fully strip the executables). |
11 |
|
12 |
Also, I'd like to try to see if we could have a features where the |
13 |
sources are kept for reference like redhat/fedora does with its |
14 |
-debuginfo rpms. I'll check how redhat does it and if we can do |
15 |
something similar when I come back from my vacation... |
