The debug symbols are of very limited use in proper deployments unlike with regular userspace. Unless someone goes through the pain of setting up an EFI debugger (assuming their firmware even supports this in the first place) any provided debug symbols will just be useless. Debugging under QEMU is possible, but even then it is non-trivial to set up, so anyone willing to go that far can just build in developer mode. Meanwhile, at least x86 firmware tends to refuse binaries that contain debug symbols. We do strip the files when converted to PE anyway, but the elf file needs to stay around on other arches as objcopy does not support PE as input there. Also, the generated debug symbols seem to be not reproducible when building with LTO. Whether this is an issue in tooling or our side is unclear. This works around this issue. Fixes: #22157
