I agree with Tom. KGDB without debug info is more or less unusable on MIPS (and most non-x86 architectures).
Someone who can run gdb without debug info, should also have the expertise to disable compilation of debug info during a kernel compilation. We don't need to add a specific Kconfig option for it. -Amit On Friday 08 September 2006 19:55, Tom Rini wrote: > On Thu, Sep 07, 2006 at 11:32:48PM +0400, Vitaly Wool wrote: > > Hi, > > currently KGDB being selected forces the kernel to include debu infor > > into the > > image.
