Again, I'm against using USE flags to handle debug information, it's already hard enough as it is without adding extra complexity. I'd be more for _suggesting_ the use of -g but leaving it to the user. And yes I also agree that -ggdb makes more sense. I'll write something about it later on I guess. -- Diego Elio Pettenò — Flameeyes flamee...@flameeyes.eu — http://blog.flameeyes.eu/
