What have libc*-dev, gdb, gcc etc. in common with debugging symbols in
checkerlibs?
When I debug my program it suffices to me to know the problem came in
the call to gets() for instance. I'm not interested in seeing more
details, simply because I expect the library to be okay. Usually I
expect a bug in my software before I consider a buggy libc.
But if the common feeling is to not do that I can still strip the
libararies myself, you're right. But it'll have to be strip
/usr/i486-linuxchecker/lib/* :-)
Anyway, with your arguments you could as well ask for libc-dbg to be
fold into libc-dev again as it was earlier on.
