Sharing beteen the debug info and the LTO info is a very a good thing, and I feel that we should not adopt a solution that breaks that. I'd really rather leave 'strip --strip-debug' broken than bloat up the object files. The sort of solution I would favor would be to make 'strip' smarter so that it preserved the part of the debug info that LTO needed. Ideally, we would segregate the data so that the portions of the debug info of interest to LTO could be easily identified or its location compactly described so that 'strip' doesn't actually have to know much about LTO. I don't understand the current usage of DWARF by LTO well enough, however, to know whether this is feasible.
