My current work-around is to get rid of the BR2_ENABLE_DEBUG dependancy in the BR2_STRIP_xxxxx choices. That way I can enable BR2_ENABLE_DEBUG and still have stripped binaries on the target. [I don't really understand why the two were connected like that, they seem to me to be orthogonal choices.] -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow! I Know A Joke!! at gmail.com
