Hi,

The GENEREIC kernel by default has the following config:

makeoptions     DEBUG=-g                # Build kernel with gdb(1) debug symbols

You don't need anything special in your make.conf

In fact having the debug symbols is useful in many cases. So raising the 
default size for the / partition might be the better option (OK, doesn't 
help for already installed systems of course).
