Binary bloat in 7.10

[Karel Gardas]

7.10.1 should IIRC support some kind of DWARF debugging information and 
IIRC it was mentioned and decided on ghc devel that the libraries will 
ship with some DWARF to easy debugging

-- but takes me lightly on it and verify if this is the case since I may 
be completely off and this may apply to GHC HEAD and not to 7.10.x
