--- Comment #3 from Jan Palus <jpalus at fastmail dot com> --- If I understand it correctly in binutils primary criteria for removing section is whether it is marked with SEC_DEBUGGING flag: https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=blob;f=binutils/objcopy.c;h=d20aaef9f4f2e2a910bd7bf666dab6e3c158fc1b;hb=HEAD#l1366 and the flag for ELF seems to be set here: https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=blob;f=bfd/elf.c;h=81825b748d75f2b68a6cca1c54b126df53c36dc2;hb=HEAD#l1093 if (startswith (name, ".debug") || startswith (name, ".gnu.debuglto_.debug_") || startswith (name, ".gnu.linkonce.wi.") || startswith (name, ".zdebug")) flags |= SEC_DEBUGGING | SEC_ELF_OCTETS; else if (startswith (name, GNU_BUILD_ATTRS_SECTION_NAME) || startswith (name, ".note.gnu")) { flags |= SEC_ELF_OCTETS; opb = 1; } else if (startswith (name, ".line") || startswith (name, ".stab") || strcmp (name, ".gdb_index") == 0) flags |= SEC_DEBUGGING; -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
