sys-kernel/coreos-module: use strip-debug instead of strip-unneeded#2196
Conversation
With `--strip-unneeded` some static symbols are also stripped from modules, making stacktraces incomplete, and making it harder to debug kernel issues. Switch to the default setting of `--strip-debug`, which keeps symbols intact and does not appear to lead to a measurable size increase of the /usr partition.

Maybe it's good to include one here for future reference about which release includes this change |

Is there any size difference on |

Will add the changelog, and check the size difference on boot. I understand that we're close to the limit. This only affects modules, so the effect would be through the modules embed within the initramfs. Modules themselves are xz compressed. |

So from http://jenkins.infra.kinvolk.io:8080/job/container/job/image_changes/212/console and http://jenkins.infra.kinvolk.io:8080/job/container/job/image_changes/203/console:
on the arm64 side the boot partition size increase is not visible. |

Good, for arm64 there was no raise reported (Boot: 58 MiB) |
