Hello everyone!

How do I get rid of <optimized out> in GDB from glibc sources? I am used to the
-O0 compiler flag in this case, but the libc-symbols.h file blocks
non-optimized build. For what reason?

I have built glibc with CFLAGS='-ggdb3 -Og' but they still do too many
optimizations so the debugger cannot see local variables. And there is a
similar bug report in GCC, https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=78685

Can we fix this on glibc side? I am attaching a work-in-progress patch that
removes an #error directive and adds some __always_inline optimizations to
strictly necessary functions. Unfortunately, I don't fully understand which
consequences it may imply.

But if glibc developers are interested, I'll be happy to putt the patch in
order.
