Description Krzysztof Daniel

This affects multiple components, but I put it under equinox product, because I found it there first.

Recently my Fedora builds started failing because of the error:

find-debuginfo.sh *** ERROR: No build ID note found in $path_to_binary

According to the man page http://linux.die.net/man/1/ld, adding the --build-id to the build will generate add to the file a section with unique build id (which is good for debugging purposes). Do you think adding something like this to SWT (and in other native libraries (launcher, filesystem, network) build would be useful?

Note - I have a workaround for that issue in Fedora.

The build-id flag should be included automatically. The problem must be somewhere else. Investigating.

It's a duplicate of 393834. Debug symbols should not be removed from the build.
