We recently added logic to conf/distro/include/sane-toolchain-* to handle the debug level via DEBUG_LEVEL. Would you mind adding a DEBUG_LEVEL_HOST to conf/bitbake.conf and making BUILD_OPTIMIZATION obey that instead so that we can drop debug info from all of them? Thanks.

Tom,

Thanks. On this one, please just take it over. I am still coming up to speed, and am not able to decipher what you want in a way that will make you happy.

I know its only a few lines, and you'll want it done a certain way anyway.

Thanks tons. The disk savings is substantial and worth your time.

Next time I'll be better positioned to help.

Dick
