When we strip a file, we remove any debug information from it. This is
done to reduce the size of the file.
I have seen package managers provide separate files with debug
information. For instance, I have a libQtGui.so.4.2.3.debug file 55 MB
in size separate from the libQtGui.so.4.2.3 file which is 7 MB in size.
Now the questions:
First: Is this kind of providing separate debug files applicable only
for library or also for applications?
Second: How do I create such .debug files with debug information only? I
find that these debug files are not executables.
Thank you.
