Hi Koen

Its not FUD and I only speak of what I see with my eyes. I have data
to prove it. Compile uclibc with ggdb3 and it ends up with 202M of
shared library and without its only ~600K. (with gcc 4.4 and 4.5) I
have similar experience with 4.3 but I dont
have a build handy to see how big the binaries got.

same for git native without -ggdb3 I get 1.4M of git executable and above 100M
with -ggdb3 now if you copy 101M of binary 10 times it will highlight
the problem
even more.

I will post complete result of a consol-image build with -ggdb3 and
without it for reference and to clear FUD as well.

I agree FUD should not be appreciated but facts should.

Thanks
