[Gluster-devel] Embedding debug symbols in glusterfsd

As the cited email mentions, executables seem to get stripped even with 
enable_debug set, but libraries (including translators) should be fine. I've 
been building that way (using rpmbuild) and successfully debugging translators 
all day today. On the very rare occasions that I want to debug the 
gluster{d,fs,fsd,shd} executable itself, I grab the unstripped version from 
here: 

/rpmbuild/BUILD/glusterfs-3git/glusterfsd/src/.libs/glusterfsd 

In the past I've used some other tricks to disable the stripping phase of 
rpmbuild, but it seems like those wouldn't apply if you're just doing "make 
install" instead. In fact, I'm not even sure why things would get stripped 
that way, but our build process is so screwy I only look at it when something 
breaks.
