Indeed, some people like you need debugging symbols to use with gdbserver on the target. But there are lots of other use cases for building with debugging symbols: - Using the full blown gdb directly on the target - Using tools like objdump/readelf on the host, without necessarily needing gdbserver on the target Hence, I don't think we want to tie building with debugging symbols with having gdbserver copied to the target. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
