Hi,

According to https://bugs.php.net/bugs-generating-backtrace.php

> To get a backtrace with correct information you must have PHP

configured with --enable-debug!

This seems wrong.

Of course you can use GDB against any build of PHP

Result: for some time, I noticed people asking about issues
in debug build, when they don't need such build.

IMHO, debug builds are for PHP and extensions developers
as this mode add more checks (assert) but is not suitable
for other usages.

Perhaps a better wording is

To get a backtrace with correct information you must have
a non stripped PHP binary
