Description Justin Gullingsrud 2002-05-13 11:47:58 UTC

/usr/lib/portage/bin/prepallstrip uses "strip --strip-unneeded" on shared
libraries.  gdb is unable to handle the real-time signals that come in during
the debugging of a multithreaded program, which causes the program to be
continually interrupted.  

I suggest replacing --strip-unneeded with --strip-debug.  I have built a stage1
system after making this replacement and found that it cured the problem.  The
size of my libpthread is 104k, vs. 85k for the fully-stripped file.  Other
system libraries saw a similar, or smaller, increase in size.

This sounds like it's needed.  Thanks.
