Please note that the data produced by "-g -fvar-tracking" is consumed by tools like systemtap, perf, crash, and makes a significant difference to the observability of debug AND non-debug kernels. (The presence of compiled-in DEBUG_* self-checking code is orthogonal to kernel observability via debuginfo.) Please consider only disabling var-tracking optionally/temporarily to work around this already-fixed compiler bug, but not losing high-quality dwarf data permanently. - FChE -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
