7 I dont think there is any use flags like DG_DISABLE_DEBUG.. As for as
8 debugging symbols goes the use flag 'debug' control them i guess.. And
9 as far as i know on x86 arch it -debug, so by default it strips
10 debugging info from binaries..

12 Here's a snip from portage/profiles/use.desc:
13
14 debug - Tells configure and the makefiles to build for
15 debugging. Effects vary across packages, but generally
16 it will at least add -g to CFLAGS. Remember to set
17 FEATURES=nostrip too
