hi. linux does have this. you just strip the debug symbols out (and put them somewhere safe). then write a .gnu_debuglink section to the stripped ELF binary with a CRC that matches the stripped symbols. once something bad happens: you just take the core dump, the symbols you have tucked away, and you are able to debug just fine.
