Tend to agree. Plus, you can always compile -O0 in such a case and get more useful debug info besides (yes, I know this can be misleading under some circumstances, but not all packages are glibc). Plus, if the user doesn't enable core dumps the debug info is useless unless the problem is reproducible, and if it is reproducible then you can just build it with debug info. But, by all means make it easy for the user to make their own choice. I usually keep a debug file in /etc/portage/env.d and symlink it to anything I'm working on. Rich
