Well, this is useful because you have your FW build and your symbols right next to it for each build. Then, you can store them somewhere (FW + debug symbols) and if you get a crash/segfault on a specific build number you're covered because you can pull symbols and use them on coredumps for that sp

[OpenWrt-Devel] [RFC] openwrt: Allow extraction of debuginfo from all binaries

2014-07-24 Thread Helmut Schaa
Introduce a new config symbol EXTRACT_DEBUGINFO to extract debuginfo from all binaries. This depends on USE_STRIP and DEBUG. The debuginfo of all packages will be extracted from the binary and copied into "bin/$platform/debuginfo". This allows better debugging of coredumps by loading the debuginf
