I was setting up build infrastructure once again when it occurred to me, hmm, wouldn't it be nice if automake had default targets for installing symbols?
For example, make install-syms could do objcopy --only-keep-debug on the binaries and libraries, and put the .debug files in /usr/lib/debug. It looks like implementing this is as simple as just patching libs.am and progs.am, but I have no clue what automake's regression testing strategy is. Is there another developer set up and sufficiently convinced this is a feature worth implementing? If not, how do I get started building a dev environment for automake?
