This is only useful if you actually anticipate +debugging the kernel, of course. We don't turn it on be default +because it adds considerably to the unpageable memory footprint of the +kernel. + The specific switches you give to configure are always recorded in the file `config.status'. So you can always tell what options you used to build a particular kernel. |
