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.
