- Subject: [patch] Smaller gdb: -rdynamic -> -Wl,--dynamic-list
Hi,
gdb currently has needlessly huge .dynsym and thus even huge the (on-demand
loaded) LOAD segment. With the attached patch it gets smaller:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 4524488 gdb-7.1-19.fc13.x86_64/usr/bin/gdb
-rwxr-xr-x 1 4266728 gdb-7.1-19dynamiclist.fc13.x86_64/usr/bin/gdb
-rw-r--r-- 1 2364656 gdb-7.1-19.fc13.x86_64.rpm
-rw-r--r-- 1 2274300 gdb-7.1-19dynamiclist.fc13.x86_64.rpm
I am not sure with the gdbserver/Makefile.in new CDEPS there. I have not
found it defined anywhere while it is used as the gdbserver target dependency.
I hope on the build hosts where -rdynamic was supported even
-Wl,--dynamic-list must be supported.
ps_get_thread_area is not always defined while the proc-service.list file
lists it. GNU ld does not seem to be concerned by undefined symbols.
No regressions on {x86_64,x86_64-m32,i686}-fedora12-linux-gnu.
Thanks,
Jan
