Comment(by batterseapower):
OK, that does make sense. That quote contradicts what I had thought the
behaviour of PE was.
I'm still in favour of keeping the ticket open, because that debug info
shouldn't be linked in at all (except maybe with -debug?), and it might
help with our linking time problems if it wasn't.
Furthermore, I had to write the "trimmer" above because I found weird
behaviour with (IIRC - it's some time ago now) Cygwin strip when used on
Windows DLLs that caused it to strip out the DLL's exports, contrary to
what the manpage said. If GHC binaries were svelte by default I would not
have had to grapple with getting strip to do what I want.
