Re: Howto build kernel in debug mode

If you have a kernel w/ kgdb support, than this would be one with a
'unoffical' patch applied. Is this certain? If not, trying to get
along with 'printk' and/or CONFIG_DEBUG_LL is probably easier.

Okay,
but HOW do I enable building the kernel with debug option ?
something like -O0 ? Where ? In makefiles or in menuconfig options ?
TIA

I've found the answer in .config

CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y


bye
