The size of the debug files (with splitdebug, -O0, -ggdb3) are incredibly huge for Samba:

find . -size +30M  | wc -l
39
find . -size +50M  | wc -l
21

Ouch. The problem isn't so much the disk space, but copying around the resulting elephantine files can slow down the merge process by an hour.

Samba of file sizes

Output for 'find . -size +30M  -printf "%p\t%s\n"' for the Samba tarball
Comment 2 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-09-20 00:09:38 UTC
So don't use splitdebug if you dislike it.
