severity 7451 whishlist
Re-labelling the bug report as whishlist, which is more appropriate.
Sorry for not having done that right away.

I've put together a stripped-down example of a problem currently
beguiling Harlan Stenn and myself with Automake used in the NTP
reference implementation:

The layout is:
am-libopts-subpkg/
configure.ac
Makefile.am

Hey,
I use:
noinst_PROGRAMS = cmapdump fontdump
BUILT_SOURCES = cmapdump fontdump
With MSYS, noinst_PROGRAMS is set to
cmapdump$(EXEEXT) fontdump$(EXEEXT)
but BUILT_SOURCES is set to
cmapdump fontdump
Is it normal that BUILT_SOURCES does not try to see if they are binaries
in some

The reason why users are helpless without debugging symbols is if a
program crashes, all they can look at are the machine registers at the
state of the crash. This is completely useless for figuring out why
the program crashed, or getting help from another hacker to figure out
why it crashed.

Karl, what do you think about this rewording
The second hunk adds real information, so I'll go ahead and install that.
The first hunk, though, I just can't agree with, and I feel pretty sure
that rms would not approve of such a change either. Helpless is a
good description of people faced
You need to remember the original target audience of GNU software was a
group of people that wanted to share free software. Most of them were
students or researchers that generally built software distributed in
source form. Only in the last 10 years has Linux become generally
popular. Before that

I personally would not have written it that way in the first place, but
given that it is there now, I don't want to simply replace it with bland
text, or occupy rms's time with it, either.
Yeah, I think there's nothing particularly offensive about that
