[Hei Chan]

Hi,

I am trying to find the document for auxbase and auxbase-strip, but I can't find any.

Any pointer?

Any pointer?

They are internal options used to support the -fcompare-debug options.
They are intended to be used by end users.

Is it true that the generate assembly code should be the same with either option?
