This wording leaves open at least 2 possibilities: A) The kernel debug symbols are not stripped out and are left in the original kernel files, so the information is still available, just in a different place. B) The kernel debug symbols become not available by being stripped out of the original kernel files without being moved/copied to other files. =3D=3D=3D Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com ( dsl-only.net went away in early 2018-Mar)
