In some systems, this info is stored externally and, thus, costs nothing to the final executable. Developers choose a "debug" version of a program having more run-time checks in it, a "retail" one being faster and optimized. One has to explicitly deny the production of symbol info at either release version. But why bother so, if the symbol tables are located to an external file?!
