Default Behavior of rpmbuild for stripping

[Eran Ben Natan]

This is from http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_an_RPM_package, hope this helps:

Normally, if there are binary executables, then debugging symbols are stripped from the normal binary packages and placed into a name-debug subpackage. If this shouldn't happen, you can disable the stripping and creation of this subpackage by putting this at the top of your SPEC:
%global _enable_debug_package 0
%global debug_package %{nil}
%global __os_install_post /usr/lib/rpm/brp-compress %{nil}
To prevent stripping you may also need to do this in the %install section:
export DONT_STRIP=1

Subject: Default Behavior of rpmbuild for stripping

Hi,

It seems like rpmbuild would strip out some symbols by default. May I know what symbols it would strip? debug symbol or  elf symbols or all symbols?

I have rpm file in my handle. I do not know how it being built. Is there any way to check whether symbols are present in rpm file?

Thanks
Jegan
