Found during tests of busybox package:
If the path of the top build directory contains a symlink and the
project's build scripts normalize pathnames, no debug info is created by
cygport.
This is because options like
-fdebug-prefix-map=${B}=/usr/src/debug/${PF}
have no effect because ${B} contains a symlink but the compiler is run
with the real source path.
The postinstall code then does not find any line number info with source
path /usr/src/debug/${PF}/...
Could be fixed easily in line 414 of /bin/cygport:
-declare -r top=$(cd ${_topdir}; pwd);
+declare -r top=$(cd ${_topdir}; /bin/pwd);
No patch provided because I'm not sure whether this has other negative
side effects.
If this is the case, it possibly makes sense to print a warning if
"$(pwd)" != "$(/bin/pwd)".
