Ahh yes, the way it was being done (before the change to build .symbols files) is that the buildworld was done using a make.conf with DEBUG_FLAGS=-g while the installworld omitted it; the /usr/obj tree then had the debug information but the installed binaries and libraries did not. It looks like the .symbols change built on top of this. -Ed _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
