Given that this is not the first time that we have annobin-induced breakage 
endangering a release, I really have to wonder why we insist on shipping 
this debugging tool by default for production builds. I understand that the 
security team wants to analyze the annotations to, e.g., detect packages 
built with insecure flags, but I do not see why that analysis needs to be 
done on the official binary packages, i.e., why the packages cannot just 
(for that analysis) be rebuilt with annobin enabled on a private system that 
does not expose the entire community to the fragility of annobin (and the 
increased package sizes due to the annotations).
