I filed the following two bugs:

7188168 4/4 7071904 broke the DEBUG_BINARIES option on Linux

7188173 4/4 RFE: consider switching from STABS to DWARF on linux-x86
            (32-bit)

They should appear publicly in the next day or so...

I'll disagree. Getting buy-off on yet another size increase is not a short process. Fixing (and documenting) the DEBUGBINARIES option can be done independently of the switch from STABS to DWARF.

I think we can kill two birds with one stone by just removing DEBUGBINARIES and using dwarf for linux 32. Can someone do the size study and post the results? thanks, Coleen On 7/31/2012 11:13 AM, Daniel D. Daugherty wrote:

I'll file a bug (if there isn't one already) and remove stabs for linux. Thanks :-) I think we need two bugs here. One for the DEBUGBINARIES breakage and one for possibly changing to DWARF from STABS on Linux X86.
