I've posted a patch to make debuginfo more easy:

  JDK-8036003: Add --with-debug-symbols=[none|internal|external|zipped]
    https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8036003
    http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/build-dev/2014-February/012019.html

I think that debuginfo is very useful for developers.
So I want to move forward this enhancement.


Thanks,

Yasumasa
