--- Comment #1 from Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni at free-electrons.com> ---
While I understand your reasoning, I don't think we want to do that. Indeed,
some people like you need debugging symbols to use with gdbserver on the
target. But there are lots of other use cases for building with debugging
symbols:

 - Using the full blown gdb directly on the target
 - Using tools like objdump/readelf on the host, without necessarily needing
gdbserver on the target

Hence, I don't think we want to tie building with debugging symbols with having
gdbserver copied to the target.
