Ok, but there's more to building software, than just building rpms. For example I can definitely see a common use case where a program is built with line number and unwinding information, but not with types. Or types are only generated partially using a special "debug file". And for that it would be best if gcc simply didn't generate unnecessary information and minimizes IO and disk space requirements. iirc there was even a patch in this direction from Frank Ch. Eigler -Andi -- a...@linux.intel.com -- Speaking for myself only.
