Hello all, (I did contribute to GCC long time ago) I'm using only Debian (trixie/x86-64) or Linux Mint 22 (x86-64). I'm working on the RefPerSys inference engine project (GPL licensed, see also refpersys.org amateur website) on https://github.com/RefPerSys/RefPerSys/ and I want all the GCC compilation to compile C++ and C code with DWARF debugging enabled. Is there a way to force the spec file for the system compiler /usr/bin/g++ to enable -g implicitly. IIRC, the spec file is builtin the /usr/bin/gcc executable, and to change it I have to recompile GCC entirely. Can I avoid recompiling all of GCC? (due to hardware issues -perhaps faulty RAM- compiling GCC is difficult in a reliable way). NB. contributors to RefPerSys are welcome, but I cannot pay them for that (being retired). For completeness, here is the output of: % /usr/bin/g++ -v Using built-in specs.
