https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=783876 explains that cc1 is deliberately unstripped in gcc-5, so that verbose backtraces are given on ICEs. That seems fair enough.
Is this still appropriate for cross-compilers? The packages go from being 5MB to 23MB each. Multiplied by each front-end and architecture we do end up with an awful lot of fat packages. IME ICEs are normally researched in the native toolchains, so I think we should probably stick to normal stripped binaries for the cross-toolchains. Does anyone disagree and think that this is sufficiently important/useful that it's worth all the archive space? Is there already a variable/knob to twiddle to turnthe stripping back on, or do we need a patch to do this for the cross-compilers (I've not looked yet)?
