help
- If you say Y here the resulting Xen will include debugging info
- resulting in a larger binary image.
+ Say Y here if you want to build Xen with debug information. This
+ information is needed e.g. for doing crash dump analysis of the
+ hypervisor via the "crash" tool.
+ Saying Y will increase the size of the xen-syms and xen.efi
+ binaries. In case the space on the EFI boot partition is rather
+ limited, you may want to make use of the INSTALL_EFI_STRIP make
+ variable when building the hypervisor, in order to strip xen.efi
+ before installing it to the EFI partition.
