Hi Regina,
set FASTDEBUG=true to enable debug symbols (with compiler
optimizations enabled), or DEBUG=true to get a build with
compiler opt. disabled (and I believe a debug runtime will
be used on windows in this case as well).
I recommend using FASTDEBUG=true - the resulting binaries
are much faster than DEBUG and are useful for most
debugging applications.
You can also mix and match optimized and fastdebug binaries.
Suppose you have an optimized build - you can then
rebuild part of the workspace with FASTDEBUG so that
only some libs will be recompiled with debug symbols
(there are some exceptions to this, but mostly it should
work).
For example,
#> cd jdk/make/sun/awt
#> gnumake FASTDEBUG=true
will build awt libraries with debug symbols, while the rest
of the binaries will be optimized.
Thanks,
Dmitri

Is it possible to build OpenJDK with debugging symbols included in
external native libraries like libzip.so, and if it is how can I enable it?
