GCC's debugging information at -O2 will continue to worsen (in part as a result of -O2 getting better). Hence, -dbg libraries would need to be compiled with different optimization settings in some cases. It might not a good idea to feature them prominently because they might behave differently in corner cases. And compiling everything with something close to -O1 isn't acceptable, either. For our internal libraries at work, we simply compile with -g and do not strip the binaries, but program-related disk space is not an issue we face. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
