How to detach debug symbols from libraries

[Fabrizio Polacco <fpolacco@icenet.fi>]

Hi folks!

I remember someone suggesting to tetach debugging symbols from libraries
to package them separately on a -dbg binary package.

* What is the way to do that?
* How can a detached symbol table be used to debug a program?
* Can such table be used both for shared and static libs or should I
  build 2 tables (or only the static one)?


Thank you for your help,
Fabrizio
