When emerging wxGTK-2.6.2-r1 with USE=debug, the resulting libraries are stripped. Steps to reproduce: $ USE=debug emerge =wxGTK-2.6.2-r1 $ file /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2ud_core-2.6.so.0.2.0 /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2ud_core-2.6.so.0.2.0: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), stripped Maybe the wxlib.eclass should inherit debug?
Fixed as suggested. Many thanks!
