Can you tell we more about the iirc gdb please?

This is about plain gdb, since fpide uses gdblib I don't know if it counts
foir that too.
Anyway, on my fedora core, I've the option to install a somelib-debuginfo
package. This package installs
/usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/libname.so.x.y.z.debug
and
/usr/src/debug/packagename-version/*.c
As far as I know this is the full executable as it was before rpmbuild did
call strip. It puts the stripped one in the normal rpm and the original
one in the debuginfo rpm.
I didn't read the gdb info again, but from what I recal, gdb automagically
searches for any path+lib loaded in /usr/lib/debug
if this path+lib.debug exists. If so, it uses that as symbol source.
Further, it looks in /usr/src/debug/ for sources.
This is why I wondered about the statement that the debugger doesn't support
it.
There exists no debugger that can process the .dbg files FPC generates,
and gdb cannot read debug info from a file in general. The /usr/lib/debug
means gdb simply opens a different executable.
