I think it makes sense to do this as the default behavior, and then support the stripped-down kernel as the optional behavior. There are always going to be some users who need the smallest kernel possible, but those people are already making a custom kernel so it is fine (IMO) if they also need to customize the kernel to obtain a stripped kernel. But the people who are happily running with a generic kernel will be better off if they have all that debug information readily available if any problem does come up. Right now we always waste one "debug cycle" when someone gets a core dump, only to realize that they can't do anything with it because their kernel has no symbol information. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad_at_gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad_at_freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih_at_rpi.eduReceived on Wed Oct 20 2004 - 15:17:45 UTC
