In my experience, upstreams are receptive to patches that make the stripping behavior optional, for example "STRIP = strip" and invoking "$(STRIP)" in Makefile which can then be overridden for example with "make STRIP=/bin/true ...". BTW rpmbuild will strip things anyway unless a bug or explicit measures in specfiles prevent it from doing that, see also http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Debuginfo -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
