Comment (by thomie):

 This requires a little more work than just adding `GhcRtsHcOpts += -g` and
 `GhcLibHcOpts += -g` to `mk/config.mk.in`.

 What is also needed is to no strip debug symbols from the libraries when
 running 'make install', but to only do that when running 'make install-
 strip'.

 Currently, ghc-cabal tells Cabal to strip the libraries on installation
 (with `--strip-unneeded`), unless `STRIP_CMD = :`.
