I know all that and that's what I'm asking: Is there an easier in the
land of $TOOLDIR to build "instbin" without stripping debugger symbols?
As far as I can tell I have to get down and dirty with the generated
"instbin.mk" guts. Is there not some higher-level way to control the
use of --strip-debug by nbcrunchcen and setting of STRIP while using
that makefile? Is debugging "instbin" with a symbolic debugger done
rarely enough that everyone doing it does the manual hacking every time
they go through the compile-edit-test loop?
