I've spent some time looking at the debuginfo/strip process but can't figure
out why they are not getting stripped. They do have the execute bit set.
Any ideas?
Mkoctfile does seem to support debug symbol stripping, but I do not see it
connected in the autotools [1]. Afaict these are built during the make phase
right? Don't know if there is a generic flag where you can pass more flags to
mkoctfile.

Well, it got me thinking some more, since we do not do similar stripping
at the `%cmake_install`, so I am not sure if doing the strip manually
would be the best since it would not land the stuff in debug* packages IIUC.
Some pointers I've found so far:
- There's a debuginfo guideline on these [1] where it hints at looking
into `|find-debuginfo.sh`|
- There are quite a few references that tweak this [2], but I did not
find a good reference about it
- Was also pointed to `/usr/lib/rpm/brp-strip` and `debugedit` that
interact with these, but I am not aware of those having control knobs
