FEATURES=splitdebug is already a part of the developer profile. And then that bashrc file was added there to avoid adding -ggdb to CFLAGS unconditionally (it increases compile/link time a *lot* for packages like xulrunner, webkit, or chromium). This was the only response to my e-mail, so I guess most people don't care about the bashrc file in question. I'd still like to remove it - was your reply a "no way" or just "I'd prefer something else"?
