Before the patch goes in I would like to check a few things:
* If compression is enabled for gas but not ld for example,
does this mean that the linker will uncompress compressed
debug sections when it writes them out ? Or rather, is
that what configuring with --enable-compressed-debug-sections=gas
implies ?
* What happens if the linker is given some input files containing
compressed debug sections and some input files not containing
compressed debug sections ? Is the output always compressed ?
* What advantage is gained by compressing debug sections, as opposed
to splitting out the debug information and the compressing the whole
debug file ?
Cheers
Nick
