Interesting question. I did a comparison of the total size of the images
on my Linux x64 workstation:
current no-g all-g
j2sdk 303M 300M 314M
j2re 212M 209M 220M
I should clarify that in langtools, -g is only added to the compilation
of the interim compiler, not the classes that get included in the actual
product (tools.jar).

Hello,
While converting the build to the new build-infra makefiles, one thing
that annoyed me was the fact that we aren't consistently compiling with
or without -g for java code. In the new makefiles we just emulate the
same behavior, but I would like to sort it out properly now.
Currently langtools, jaxp and jaxws repos build with -g always, while
corba and jdk only build with -g when DEBUG_LEVEL is fastdebug or
slowdebug.
How would we really like this to work? Is there a reason not to ship
with -g enabled? I know from personal experience that I get very
annoyed
when I can't step into the jdk classes and look at local variable
values
when debugging my own java applications.
+1.
I can understand that this may be different for actual product builds.
