Hi H.J.
(In reply to H.J. Lu from comment #14)

OK, how about this:
1. We apply the patch, change the default to all targets back to
not compressing debug sections. You add a patch to your binutils
releases that re-enables compressed debug sections by default for
x86/x86_64 linux targets.
If there are any bug reports about problems with compressed debug
sections we fix them as a matter of priority.
2. After the next major binutils release (2.26) we change the default
to be compressed debug sections. We add an entry in the gas and ld
NEWS files about this (noting how the default can also be changed
by a configure option). Linux distro maintainers who use the
development binutils sources will doubtless complain to us if they
find problems with this change. If we can fix them, we do so,
otherwise we revert the change on a per-target basis.
3. For the problem targets we maintain an eye on the issues, helping
where we can, with the objective of having every major target
supporting compressed debug sections by the time that 2.27 is
released.
Does this sound OK ?
Cheers
Nick
