Description Serge Roussak 2021-09-16 08:07:51 UTC 
I didn't found any info how to build the gdb itself with debugging symbols.
Comment 1 Andreas Schwab 2021-09-16 08:25:02 UTC 
Like every other software.
Comment 2 Simon Marchi 2021-09-19 02:14:10 UTC 
Let's try to be a bit more helpful here: like most other software using an Autoconf configure script, pass the required flags in the CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS variables (since GDB is a mix of C and C++, you need both).  For example:

$ path/to/configure CFLAGS="-g3 -O0" CXXFLAGS="-g3 -O0"
