This was apparently introduced by upstream commit [2], which adds "--compress-debug-sections=zlib" as one of linker options.

Should I ask upstream to make the compression optional?
I'd say remove it - compressing the debug sections is horrible because it forces anything that wants to access the debug data to load it all in and decompress it rather than just reading what it needs.
