Hi, Binutils can compress/decompress debug sections if zlib is available. I imported zlib from gcc source tree to binutils source tree. I changed binutils to use zlib unconditionally. By default, the in-tree zlib is used. If you configure binutis using --with-system-zlib, system zlib will be used. My zlib changes are on hjl/zlib branch at
http://git.kernel.org/?p=devel/binutils/hjl/x86.git;a=summary Any comments? Thanks. -- H.J.
