I see what's going on now. stretch (being in development) uses a bleeding-edge version of binutils, which appears to have changed the semantics of --compress-debug-sections. Now it creates SHF_COMPRESSED .debug sections rather than .zdebug sections. jessie uses binutils 2.25, so it has the .zdebug sections. So it does appear that SHF_COMPRESSED is the future. .zdebug, however, is the present, so ideally Valgrind should support both. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
