Comment (by bonefish):
The `objcopy` bug might be worth a bug report. :-)
Regarding your first caveat, if you used Haiku's build system to build the
release and the debug version of the file, problems are to be expected,
since one is built with and the other without optimization. In the Linux
world usually the release versions are built with both optimization and
debug info (and where possible, the debug info is split into another
file/package). The result is not optimal for debugging -- due to the
optimization inlining and reordering code -- but after all it is a release
build.
Regarding the resources, the Haiku build system could automate the step,
respectively add the resources after extracting the debug info in the
first place.
Regarding your patch:
* Not important, but I would swap the `_GetDebugInfoPath()` parameters.
Output parameters usually come last (though there are exceptions when
there are other parameters with default values).
* I don't know why you made the `dirLocations` array `int16`. It should
be `directory_which`. Also the `-1` element is not needed. The number of
elements is `sizeof(dirLocations) / sizeof(dirLocations[0])`. Moreover the
array could be const.
