== Detailed Description ==
Create subpackage in <code>gdb</code> source package called
<code>gdb-minimal</code> that will contain 2 files:
* <code>/usr/libexec/gdb-minimal</code> — GDB executable built without
optional unneeded features
* <code>/usr/bin/gdb-add-index</code> — Executable script shared with
gdb-headless package (modified to fallback to gdb-minimal if exists)
Hi Ben,
AFAIK that part of the gdb is used only to separate debuginfo in %post_install.
Some times ago IIRC for exactly the same operation was used eu-strip used -o to save stripped part in debuginfo files.
Even if eu-strip is not doing stripping correctly better would be better to fix it or modify binutils strip to implement -o option from elfutils strip.
Using gdb for saving debuginfo looks like overkill and elfutils is +10 smaller and depends only on glibc.
$ rpm -q --qf "%{NAME}\t%{SIZE}\n" gdb-headless elfutils
gdb-headless 18123356
elfutils 1245125
