Update:
Fedora dropped that approach, then considered a hybrid approach, where
they strip static libraries, but copy the unstripped static libraries
into their debuginfo packages. That stalled and was discarded.
The latest message suggests a more complicated but better option:
Maybe we should look at a solution that uses GNU Debug Fission or
DWARF5 split DWARF where most of of the non-relocationable DWARF
structures are put in a separate .dwo file. Then you could keep
the skeleton units in the (unstripped) static library. And
package up the .dwo units into a .dwp file that goes into the
debuginfo. Those skeleton units contain an ID of the .dwo units.
We would then need to create some mapping that ties together the
debuginfo package containing the skeleton units to the debuginfo
package containing the .dwp file?
