Use the --debugonly option to remove the
content of any code or data sections. This ensures that the output
file contains only the information required for debugging, for example,
debug sections, symbol table, and string table. Section headers
are retained because they are required to act as targets for symbols.
Note
You must use --elf with this option. Because
you have to use --elf, you must also use --output.
ExampleTo create an ELF file, debugout.axf,
from the ELF file infile.axf, containing only
debug information, enter:
fromelf --elf --debugonly --output=debugout.axf infile.axf
