Yes, I think we have a winner! gas generates a tiny bit of debuginfo even if you don't supply -g. But... in 2.35 you can give the DWARF level you want. The problem with not supplying -g (or --gdwarf-[VERSION]) is that the dwarf_level is never set! And then gas will happily create an .debug_info section with DWARF CUs that have a version of zero (!). This, defaulting to version 4. Fixes it for me: diff --git a/gas/as.c b/gas/as.c index 4c5881abd88..c2da78870ef 100644 --- a/gas/as.c +++ b/gas/as.c @@ -103,7 +103,7 @@ int verbose = 0; int flag_dwarf_cie_version = -1; /* The maximum level of DWARF DEBUG information we should manufacture. */ -unsigned int dwarf_level = 0; +unsigned int dwarf_level = 4; #if defined OBJ_ELF || defined OBJ_MAYBE_ELF int flag_use_elf_stt_common = DEFAULT_GENERATE_ELF_STT_COMMON; _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
