            Bug ID: 23495
           Summary: gold should not compress the .debug_gdb_scripts
                    section
           Product: binutils
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: gold
          Assignee: ccoutant at gmail dot com
          Reporter: ian at airs dot com

  Target Milestone: ---

gdb looks for the special section .debug_gdb_scripts.  As far as I can tell, it
does not look for .zdebug_gdb_scripts.  Therefore, gold should not generate
that.  Right now, gold will consider compressing any section whose name starts
with ".debug" (is_compressible_debug_section in gold/layout.cc).  We should
probably not try to compress .debug_gdb_scripts.
