FSF GDB (and future Fedora GDBs) became 250KB smaller than before. Python recently disabled this GDB build optimization so GDB is 250KB larger again.
-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
Some Python binaries/libraries could probably also benefit from smaller pageable code image.
GDB regressed due to /usr/lib*/python*/config/Makefile contains:
LINKFORSHARED=-Xlinker -export-dynamic
and GDB thus has to use it even for its own link, effectively disabling its:
-Wl,--dynamic-list=./proc-service.list
AFAIK Python already contains the required exports list but it is used only on MS-Windows. It should be utilized even for GNU/Linux builds. |
