Re: RFC: strip --strip-nondebug

Hi Elena,

The problem is find_separate_debug_file() calls get_debug_link_info()
which looks for a section called ".gnu_debuglink" which is not present
in the stripped executable.

What is this section and how is it supposed to get into the stripped
executable ?

Cheers
