I have looked into it further and the problem seems to be happening during the link phase. I checked the individual .o files (for the Python 3 version) and they all contain .debug_str and I can see the symbol names with readelf --debug-dump=str. But then after linking, they are gone. I ran the exact same link command on the Python 2 .o files and the resulting .so has the debug info. Rather bizarre. I don't know what to think. g++ (or whatever actually does the linking?) doesn't like the Python 3 debug info and discards it? Scott
