Longer answer: David likes to use `gdb' to track down bugs, it makes life easier to take a fault address and use `gdb' to find the exact source line that caused the error. I personally don't like the size of the boot image file that this creates so one of the first things I've always done after applying all of the IA64 patches is remove this flag. Use it or not, whatever you prefer. On Mon, Apr 22, 2002 at 10:02:52AM +0300, Zach, Yoav wrote: > The latest patch adds the '-g' switch to the main Makefile.
