So, I built libstdc++, nemiver, mozilla and openoffice with and without 
the -femit-class-debug-always. I both cases, I did build those programs 
with -g, obviously.

Below are the results of the measurements I did. The debug-info size is 
actually the total size of the elf sections which names are .debug*, 
summed up across all the binaries of a given software.
For a point of comparison, I did also measure the size of .text+data+bss 
segment for both cases.

I hope this helps.

Dodji.
