Hi!

In the quest to get deterministic/reproducible builds [1], I have
noticed that the result of building hello currently varies according to
its build path.

The attached patch use the debugedit tool to prevent such variation by
relocating the source associated with the debug data to a deterministic
path.

It also adds `-fno-merge-debug-strings` to the CFLAGS, because the
resulting .debug_str section will be different depending on the initial
input strings.

While I can agree that reproducible builds is a good thing (I added gzip -n recently), the proposed patch makes debugedit to be build-essential and it looks like an awfully horrible hack.

This behaviour should eventually be fixed at the compiler
level.

Or maybe just

s/eventually//
