Hmm, didn't know about this till now :( So, the staging root contains all non-stripped binaries, correct? Hence building with -g3 and strip should create a staging root with full debuginfo but the resulting image will still have stripped binaries without debuginfo? If this is the case my patch is superfluous :) Helmut _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openwrt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
