Tend to agree. Plus, you can always compile -O0 in such a case and |
| 9 |
get more useful debug info besides (yes, I know this can be misleading |
| 10 |
under some circumstances, but not all packages are glibc). Plus, if |
| 11 |
the user doesn't enable core dumps the debug info is useless unless |
| 12 |
the problem is reproducible, and if it is reproducible then you can |
| 13 |
just build it with debug info. |

But, by all means make it easy for the user to make their own choice. |

I usually keep a debug file in /etc/portage/env.d and symlink it to |
| 18 |
anything I'm working on. |
