Sorry I did not word that correctly - I do know that emitting debuginfo is a compile time operation but I wanted to make the case that when linking objects, the linker should be aware of whether debuginfo was requested or not at compile time to maintain consistency about the presence of debuginfo in objects. On thinking about this further though, the linker won't be able to do this automatically and it would need a hint from the compiler in some form or the other and I can't think of a sane way to do that, so I withdraw my objection. It would be nice however to make a note of this somewhere in the release notes.
