I attached the code. A simple test is: cp binary binary.debug debug-link < binary.debug > binary.debugling objcopy --add-section .gnu_debuglink=binary.debuglink binary binary.stripped strip binary.stripped After that you should be able to do gdb binary.stripped and still get debug info. I also have some libelf based code to do the stripping which is much more production oriented. This is what we'll use later. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Alexander Larsson Red Hat, Inc alexl@redhat.com alla@lysator.liu.se He's an underprivileged dishevelled grifter with a winning smile and a way with the ladies.
