--- Comment #16 from Nick Clifton <nickc at gcc dot gnu.org> --- Hi H.J. (In reply to H.J. Lu from comment #15) > It should be fixed in linker. OK - so how does the linker distinguish between a file that only contains debug information, none of which is needed, and a file that only contains debug information of which some/all actually is needed ?
