When I split out the symbols from the kernel, the intention was to always build with -g so users would have the symbols to help debug reported problems. If one was running a stock release kernel, they are not needed as we know where to find them -- the intention was to have a kernel-symbols tarball that was an option install. I pretty strongly feel that -g should not be removed from stable/9's kernel configs. Otherwise we're more in the dark when folks report problems from tracking -STABLE. -- -- David (obrien_at_FreeBSD.org)Received on Wed Oct 05 2011 - 23:46:30 UTC
