Hi Nigel, I had already noticed this difference. But why the application with debug information is not so big, whereas the libraries are? And the SDE 6 document says that using -gstabs flag can make it compile with STABS debug format. I replaced -g3 with -gstabs flag when compiling uClibc, but it cannot compile successfully.
