I read contents/ index/ pages at random and then sequentially the first two-hundred ninety-two pages of the German-flavoured English (e.g. "smaller than zero") of "Linux Kernel Internals" and then I saw: gdb /usr/src/linux/vmlinux /proc/kcore ... "all the structures in the kernel to be read, but no local variables [also] not possible to change values or call kernel functions ..." Also I saw: - CFLAGS= -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer + CFLAGS= -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -g CFLAGS -g I find in linux-2.6.0-test9/Makefile near CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO. grep CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO `find . -name 'Kconfig'` then flunks, but that question I can pursue in ?l=kernelnewbies.
