Q1 Which is the best setting to use with gdb (under linux)?
It depends on the task.
Q2 Is there anyway to decrease the bloat?
You can always use a lower debugging level, but then you lose some
information. It is always possible to debug programs just by
examining the assembler output as well.
Q3 Do we need to say -g3 -ggdb3 or is -ggdb3 sufficient?
-ggdb produces debuging information only usable by gdb, while -g
produces whatever the native system uses.
