Comment(by igloo):

 I looked into this, incidentally: As far as I can tell, we only use the
 debugging info in order to tell how many jump islands etc we're going to
 need later on, so that we can allocate all the space we'll need in a block
 before we start doing the relocations. So it looks like it ought to be
 fixable one way or another for 7.2.1.

 In the meantime, the workaround is to not strip it.
