[Bug 1012533] rpm debugedit does not support compressed debug info sections

I think RedHat also keeps some bare debug info to allow pretty backtraces in the binaries where compression could reduce the binary size penalty.

I think you're referring to MiniDebugInfo ( https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/MiniDebugInfo ) stored in a section called .gnu_debugdata. This is already compressed, not using objcopy though, but by running xz on the section before adding it using objcopy --add-section. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
