Description Alexander Gabert (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

having a new ebuild sys-devel/glibc-debug with debugging symbols in it would 
make it easier for people to do debugging where calls into libc return 
segfaults.

CFLAGS="-g -ggdb" does not work for the original sys-libs/glibc, it remains 
without debugging symbols

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. CFLAGS="-g -ggdb" emerge sys-libs/glibc
2. gcc -g -ggdb -o hello hello.c
3. gdb hello

Actual Results:  
no debugging symbols in glibc because the CFLAGS somewhere get lost

Expected Results:  
debugging symbols in glibc to trace calls into libc and back

not necessary

umm you have to enable FEATURES=nostrip otherwise the libraries are stripped before the merge ...

a better request would be to add USE flag support for debug

Yep, you need nostrip to FEATURES:

 # FEATURES="nostrip" CFLAGS="-g -ggdb" emerge glibc
