But if I understand things right the additioal=20 "symbols" (code snippets?) are not in the kernel but in a different file=20 which makes the kernel the same size like without debug=3D-g. Is there any= =20 reason to not build it with debug=3D-g? Also I thought debug kernels suffer from reduced performance. I also have D= DB=20 in my kernel and don't _feel_ any difference. So again, is there any reason= =20 not to put DDB into the kernel?
