I also agree with "Use external gdb debug symbols file" being ON by
default for a new Lazarus project.
Unless of course some debug info formats didn't support it, which would
raise other questions.
This is only a default option for new projects, which would affect
mostly new users or quick test projects, where it should always be
beneficial to keep executable file small.

I had tried in remote times to activate the "use external gdb debug

it. But some time ago I tried again, and now it turns out to work
perfectly, at least under Linux.
Wouldn't it be nice to set it active by default?
This could make unnecessary in many cases a different build mode for
testing and for deploying, and would stop the complaints about "long
executable".
