I've thought seriously several times about looking at making all my
buildworld'd binaries with debug symbols.  I expect it'd eat a massive
chunk of drive space though.  The kernel undergoes a rather notable size
increase:
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   4242610 Jan 18 06:38 /boot/kernel/kernel*
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  17684134 Jan 18 06:40 /boot/kernel/kernel.debug*
