RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

The fix for bug 1186563 has the side effect that binaries are no longer stripped because glibc.spec uses the -g option.  This adds a measurable overhead to the packages.

We are still reviewing this for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Packaging work is required and we are looking at this overall between Fedora, and RHEL.

After evaluating this issue, there are no plans to address it further or fix it in an upcoming release.  Therefore, it is being closed.  If plans change such that this issue will be fixed in an upcoming release, then the bug can be reopened.

Fedora has implemented a solution for this. It seems to work well. We could apply the same change downstream, to benefit from the installation size reduction.

I think Fedora 33 has the changes we need, especially in the form of the wrapper script: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/glibc/blob/f33/f/wrap-find-debuginfo.sh

rpm-4.14.3-20.el8 is in the buildroot, so this should now be unblocked.

Since the problem described in this bug report should be
resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a
resolution of ERRATA.

For information on the advisory (glibc bug fix and enhancement update), and where to find the updated
files, follow the link below.

If the solution does not work for you, open a new bug report.

Please note that as part of this change, we now always keep debuginfo for ld.so to help with dynamic loader introspection. See bug 2102778 for some discussion regarding that.
