Comment (by nomeata):

 Thanks. Note that the code from `debian/rules` above is only executed when
 `nostrip` is enabled, which is not the default. And by default, neither
 `STRIP` nor `STRIP_CMD` is touched. So I wonder if there is not something
 that the upstream build system needs to do different.

 But then, the Debian build script later runs `dh_strip`, which is
 basically run for every package, and which removes debugging symbols,
 which should be safe.

 Other places online indicate that this might be a linker bug.
