Subject: [gentoo-dev] debug symbol
Date: Sun, 6 Apr 2003 23:26:13 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <AF59C706-68A8-11D7-A18A-000393712A00@gnome.ca> (raw)

I didn't find any mailing-list archive, so this question might been 
already debated.

The 'debug' USE variable, if set to -debug, still let the libraries 
(and some binaries) un-stripped.

Is it a good idea to add a variable to force a strip of debug symbols, 
and perform all install(1) with -s or strip manually before 
install/build the binary package?

I have some systems where smaller is better, so ~15-20 Mb of debug 
symbols is an important gain.
