But gcc-3.3 generates *huge* binaries with debuggind enabled, on my 800 Duron, gcc-3.3 would take close on half an hour just to relink the binaries, whereas with earlier versions of gcc (even 3.2.1), I could do a complete build from scratch in the same time. In my case, I didn't have 600MB free on the partition the binaries were intended to be on ... so in some cases building with debug flags actually prevents testing ... best to build without debugging enabled, and if you find a bug, just relink the offending binary with debugging enabled.
