Can you tell we more about the iirc gdb please?
IIRC -> If I Recall Correctly
This is about plain gdb, since fpide uses gdblib I don't know if it
counts foir that too.
Anyway, on my fedora core, I've the option to install a
somelib-debuginfo package. This package installs
/usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/libname.so.x.y.z.debug
and
/usr/src/debug/packagename-version/*.c
I didn't read the gdb info again, but from what I recal, gdb
automagically searches for any path+lib loaded in /usr/lib/debug
if this path+lib.debug exists. If so, it uses that as symbol source.
Further, it looks in /usr/src/debug/ for sources.
This is why I wondered about the statement that the debugger doesn't
support it.

OK, but why do not add the debug info in an external file (conform to
stabs/dwarf specification)?
Because the debugger doesn't support this; the compiler can do it, but,
without debugger support it is useless.

iirc gdb (at least on linux) supports this. This is how I debug gdk libs.
