It would, of course, have the adverse effect of making backtraces virtually
unreadable.

One of the additions to rpm-build in recent times is the creation of a splitoff-like package with debug symbols (libraries with empty code and data sections, just debug info). That way, if you have a core file from a stripped package, you can install all the necessary *-debug packages, convince gdb to read the symbols from them (I'm a little fuzzy on how this works), and get the old-style symbolic backtrace.


I'm pretty sure the creation of the -debug packages relies on a feature of binutils which does not exist in Darwin, but I haven't looked very closely. Has anyone else ever looked at this?
