Bug#894100: gcc-8-riscv64-linux-gnu: the binaries accidentally contain debug information which makes them extremely big
Package: gcc-8-riscv64-linux-gnu
Version: 8-20180321-1cross1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
The packages gcc-8-riscv64-linux-gnu, cpp-8-riscv64-linux-gnu and
g++-8-riscv64-linux-gnu has binaries that contain debugging information,
making the binaries very big (gcc-8-riscv64-linux-gnu takes 297MB,
compared to gcc-7-riscv64-linux-gnu taking only 35MB).
*** Reporter, please consider answering thVVese questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
install gcc-7-riscv64-linux-gnu and gcc-8-riscv64-linux-gnu
* What was the outcome of this action?
see the sizes of the binaries:
