From 6c76988b813ae7a9fa2282032effa6f5a66dd8d2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Jacobowitz Date: Fri, 3 Aug 2007 11:43:01 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] [MIPS] Do not discard extra debugging sections. Leaving these sections is useful to some tools that look at the image, and none of them are loaded into memory. The .mdebug.abi64 section, in particular, lets GDB recognize vmlinux.32 as an N64 program instead of guessing that it is O32.
