We currently call /usr/lib/rpm/brp-strip-static-archive from
%__os_install_post. This removes debugging symbols from static (.a)
libraries.
Is this really a good idea? Due to this, glibc copies libc.a to
glibc-debuginfo, so that you can get a link with debugging symbols by
specifying “-static -L/usr/lib/debug/usr/lib64“ (potentially with
unintended side effects). I would like to get this to work by default.
If developers does not want debugging symbols and static libraries have
them, they can link with -s, or strip the linked object.
Thoughts?
I can file a Fedora 26 system-wide change for this if this warrants one.
Thanks,
Florian
