The manpage of strip from binutils-2.14.91 has the following text regarding
having detached debug information:
Note - the choice of ".dbg" as an extension for the debug info
file is arbitrary. Also the "--only-keep-debug" step is optional.
You could instead do this:
1.<Link the executable as normal.>
2.<Copy "foo" to "foo.full">
3.<Run "strip --strip-debug foo">
4.<Run "objcopy --add-gnu-debuglink=foo.full foo">
Shouldn't Step 4 not simply be '<Copy "foo.full" to "foo">'?
Regards
Michael
