In prior versions, eu-strip -g failed to recognize .gdb_index and so would leave it in the stripped file rather than moving it to the .debug file (or discarding it, without -f). So you might want to put "Conflicts: elfutils < 0.149" in the Fedora gdb.spec for versions providing gdb-add-index. It may not matter to bother, but it seems like a good idea for the Fedora 14 rpm. Note that ordinarily Fedora rpm builds use eu-strip without -g, so most builds already done should not have been affected. Only packages that do special magic in their .spec files to request eu-strip -g should have been affected (glibc does this). Thanks, Roland
