I don't think that page ever came back in a search result. I documented it for myself and anyone else similar situated. http://paulbeard.org/wordpress/index.php/archives/2008/01/07/building-debugging-symbol-enabled-software-in-freebsd/ This is as close as I came (http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces/DistroSpecificInstructions#head-604f4aa9d55d55ec1a1c9265b752c811f37fd4f6) and it doesn't really help unless you want global debugging. Maybe someone could clarify or refine that? -- Paul Beard / www.paulbeard.org/
