Discussion at Linux Foundation Japan Symposium

[Roland McGrath]

Our current approach is a post-processing tool that does not include
changes to the compiler or linker.  Having the original output directly
from the toolchain be more compact is also desireable, but it is not our
near-term focus.  This work I'm talking about will address size concerns.
The quality/usefulness of the info is another matter, which certainly does
entail compiler work.  There are some long-term efforts going in that area,
but that is a separate issue from what I'm doing now.


Thanks,
Roland
