I am using sysroot for debugging too. I have no

* INHERIT += "rm_work"

and added

INHIBIT_SYSROOT_STRIP = "1"

to my local.conf

I use this approach for very long time now and from my point of view
it has one BIG advantage: I can use these settings for productive
images and start remote debug within seconds without further
rebuilding.
OK - default compiler optimization sometimes causes headaches but it
works for solving >80% of my cases. In case I want to debug software
that I have developed setting optimization recipe wise helps or I
debug that on PC or target itself.

How much time is really saved by stripping sysroot?
