I'll do builds and tests on Linux and Mac. The only question I have for now is if it would make sense to have a new configuration instead of binding this to DEBUG_NATIVE. The impact of building with DEBUG_NATIVE is very big. For most debugging and crash resolutions, DEBUG_NATIVE is not required, but symbols make it easier/faster to debug. But it's doable with stripped libs as well of course -- and I agree stripped libs should be the default for distributions. ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jfx/pull/695
