ahoy Mark,

    thanks and good call, that is exactly where i found it.  before i
had found a few references to configure switches, but it looks like on
Gentoo one needs to add FEATURES="nostrip" to preserve debugging
symbols.  so apparently that should be added when the debug USE flag is
set.  i will try to hack the ebuild and see if i can figure out how to
do it.

    for posterity, here is the link with the info:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/bugzilla-howto.xml#doc_chap2

peace, w
