Hi fpc team.
When I need to understand how some code works, I frequently use the debugger, and single-step.
But when debugging Lazarus applications, I can single-step through user code and Lazarus code only, while fpc code is skipped. I presume that this is happening because my fpc binary is stripped of debug information.
In the zillion of compiler options, which are the best ones to provide a non-stripped fpc binary?
My environment is Linux, fpc 2.7.1 from svn.

Thanks for any hint

Generation of debug information is disabled by default for RTL, FCL and packages units (those distributed with FPC). To enable it you must build FPC like this:

make OPT=-gl

Of course you can add any other options you need for building.
