At a previous company that developed commercial software we always
compiled release code with the -I and -T options to suppress RAID and
remove symbol tables.

I can't remember exactly why we did it that way, probably to reduce
object and shared memory size or maybe just to confuse the in-house
programmers and get more consultancy work!

The reason is so the debugger can know intrinsicly exactly where the
SOURCE 
is so it can pull up the offending line and show it to you.  See ma the
bug is 
right here!

If the debugger must read the VOC and hope that you catalogued the
program 
globally so the absolute path is present there, or hope you didn't move
the 
object to a new file or hope you didn't fiddle and diddle than all hope
is lost 
and the sky crumbles around us.
