As an aside to this. Does anyone know how debug information can be changed |
| 28 |
to have a different basedir. My idea was to create a "custom" strip |
| 29 |
wrapper that would create external debugging files (like now possible |
| 30 |
with gdb/binutils) and point them to a location |
| 31 |
in /usr/src/packagenameplusversion. For that it would be necessary to in |
| 32 |
some way hack the source location in the debug information. |
