If the debugger gdb can support the dwarf debug info the size of the binary
will be already a lot
smaller. So it isn't a problem of FPC but of the debuggers what debuginfo is
supported. See below
what the difference on the lazarus binary:
~/lazarus>>> ls -l lazarus-*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 pvreman kmem 25630931 Jan 15 13:00 lazarus-dwarf
-rwxr-xr-x 1 pvreman kmem 74177091 Jan 15 13:02 lazarus-stabs
-rwxr-xr-x 1 pvreman kmem 9423528 Jan 15 13:00 lazarus-stripped
