Description Florian Weimer 2016-11-15 15:22:51 UTC

Once we stop stripping static libraries in rpmbuild (bug 1395280), we no longer have to put a copy of the unstripped library into the debuginfo file.

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2017-02-28 10:37:25 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 26 development cycle.
Changing version to '26'.

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2018-05-03 08:20:12 UTC

This message is a reminder that Fedora 26 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 26. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '26'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 26 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 3 Florian Weimer 2018-05-03 08:30:02 UTC

If we ship libc.a in glibc-static with debugging information, then static linking without the -s option would produce binaries with debugging information, even if -g is not specified.  There is concern that this would be too confusing to users.
