Maybe instead of adding code to a port as a portgroup, it's a post-process
step run by MacPorts main that looks for all *.dylib, *.so and executables,
gets the debugging symbols from them and drops them into
${prefix}/lib/debug. This way it's not associated with the port itself.
In fact, this seems much cleaner. Instead of making it a +debug option, it
can be a macports.conf option.
Not bad, but how would a port be built with "-O0 -g"? I find that a
lot of times variables are optimized out during a gdb session.
It's one thing for a distro to provide symbols by default, but if you
want a package to be compiled with -O0 -g, then you're always looking at
doing your own recompile. So I guess one would need to edit the
Portfile to change the optimization flags.
