Hi
  While trying to debug native C libraries, upon receiving a SIGSEGV,
the core dump thrown does not map address values to symbols as seen in
DDMS. As mentioned above this is happening due to stripping of
binaries.
How can we prevent such stripping in Android or obtain detailed stack
trace despite stripping ?
Are there any changes we need to make to the Makefiles ?

Thanks in advance
