[poky] Missing debug info

I'm trying to debug some code which uses the openssl library, built from
the Poky mainline.  For some reason (not obvious to me), there is no debug
info for this library, which makes GDB pretty useless :-(

(gdb) info sharedlibrary
 From        To          Syms Read   Shared Object Library
0x40077790  0x4008f60c  Yes         /tmp/cobra_root/lib/ld-linux.so.3
0x401abf80  0x401d57d8  Yes (*)     /tmp/cobra_root/usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8
0x40225548  0x402cfbfc  Yes (*)     /tmp/cobra_root/usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8
0x400f28f8  0x4010cf90  Yes         /tmp/cobra_root/usr/lib/libpcap.so.1
0x40326340  0x4040e8d8  Yes         /tmp/cobra_root/lib/libc.so.6
0x401278fc  0x40128614  Yes         /tmp/cobra_root/lib/libdl.so.2
(*): Shared library is missing debugging information.

Any idea why these libraries don't have debg info?  how to get it?
Rebuilding that library with printf() is pretty tedious...

Thanks
