Bug ID: 10386
Summary: Add an option to put all compiled executables that
show up on target/ in staging/ as well
Product: buildroot
Version: 2017.08
Hardware: All
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P5
Component: Other
Assignee: unassigned at buildroot.uclibc.org
Reporter: ciro.santilli at gmail.com
CC: buildroot at uclibc.org
Target Milestone: ---
Why this would be cool: you can then easily find the non-stripped executables to debug them with gdbserver, as they are in the same relative path as in the target.
Without that, you need to do a find inside build/
This is already done for shared libraries, where it is required for compilation, and that is already great as it allows me to set sysroot ${buildroot_out_dir}/staging
This is an example of the type of setup I'm using:
https://github.com/cirosantilli/linux-kernel-module-cheat/tree/b89ba9b799480e4eb1975f0a704409efb7d667d1#gdbserver
Maybe we could hardlink them or something to reduce disk usage if that is a concern.
I know that this is already doable on a per package basis, possiby by modifying the .mk of packages, e.g. as pciutils has for lspci:
define PCIUTILS_INSTALL_STAGING_CMDS
$(TARGET_MAKE_ENV) $(MAKE1) -C $(@D) $(PCIUTILS_MAKE_OPTS) \
PREFIX=$(STAGING_DIR)/usr SBINDIR=$(STAGING_DIR)/usr/bin \
install install-lib install-pcilib

This bug has been dormant for a long time. It look like a feature request rather
than a bug but anyway it sounds valid. The proposed solution, however is hard to
implement.
Since Buildroot 2018.05 the root filesystem image is generated from a copy of TARGER_DIR, so we can move the strpping from target-finalize to the fakeroot script. This way we strip binaries only in the intermediary copy.
I will submit a patch with this change for review.

The idea would be to ensure that all packages install in staging/, always. Then, identify packages that have different commands for target/ and staging/ and make them identical. Finally, remove the target install commands, and genreate it as a copy of staging at the beginning of the target-finalize step.
