Replying to [comment:137 jdemeyer]:
> drkirkby: is there a reason you always put the "-g" flag with CFLAGS? I
assume it is a mistake, but I'm asking just in case it isn't.
It was agreed long ago on sage-devel that packages would be built with
debugging information by default, since it makes finding bugs a lot
easier. I initially thought that was a bad idea, as it increases the size
of the objects. But it is negligible, and it makes no difference to run-
time, so I concede it is sensible. That's the reason for the -g
Some software packages add -g anyway, in which case it could be removed,
though I'm not sure its a good idea, since if the software changes that
behaviour, we have lost the ability to easily debug problems.
