--- Comment #3 from Nick Clifton <nickc at redhat dot com> --- Hi Chris, > Thanks for the info and context Nick, appreciate it!

It could - but how much info should it strip ? Just the DW_AT_location entry or other bits of debug info as well ? Plus at the moment the linker does not really have any code to reformat the contents of a debug section. It can resolve relocations that point into debug sections, and it can discard whole sections, but it does not really have debug-rewriting capabilities. > Do you know if there are any tickets already tracking the suggested gcc > changes > you mentioned? Actually no. I thought that there was one (or even two) but I cannot find them at the moment. They were probably filed a long time ago. It would probably be worth asking on the gcc mailing list however as there is bound to be someone there who knows about this issue.
