That is a good point. But I think the default setting is wrong if it isn't actually used/setup. As the profile shell snippets are now they define the DEBUGINFOD_URLS environment variable as an non-empty string (although just containing spaces), which makes anything using libdw/libdebuginfod do extra work because we have to assume there is some server defined. Is there a way to make it so that even if the profiles are installed the DEBUGINFOD_URLS is not defined or is the empty string if --enable- debuginfod-urls isn't given? Thanks, Mark
