I emerge wine 20031212 without debug flags : [ebuild R ] app-emulation/wine-20031212 -nas +arts +cups +opengl +alsa -tcltk -nptl -debug but during compilation I saw gcc was invoked with option -gstabs+. The installed lib are 151MB but after strip --strip-debug * they becomes 32MB (and wine still works) so I think debugging symbols are compiled in. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge wine 2. 3. Actual Results: wine includes debugging information Expected Results: wine shouldn't include debugging information Portage 2.0.49-r21 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.3, glibc-2.3.2-r9, 2.4.22-gentoo-r5) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.22-gentoo-r5 i686 AMD Duron(tm) Processor Gentoo Base System version 1.4.3.10 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-mcpu=athlon-xp -O2 -pipe " CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.1/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-mcpu=athlon-xp -O2 -pipe " DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache sandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/ http://ftp.easynet.nl/mirror/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.easynet.nl/mirror/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.tu-clausthal.de/pub/linux/gentoo/" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/home/portage" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow X acpi acpi4linux alsa apache2 apm arts bindist cdr crypt cups dvd encode fbcon foomaticdb gif gpm gtk gtk2 java jikes jpeg kde libwww mbox memlimit mmx mozilla mpeg ncurses nls oggvorbis opengl pam pdflib plotutils png ppds qt quicktime readline sasl slp spell sse ssl tcpd tetex tiff truetype usb x86 xv zlib"
This is known, we compile wine with the default flags because the wine guys don't like it when we change flags. closing.
