            Bug ID: 28992
           Summary: strip strips .gnu_debuglink
           Product: binutils
           Version: 2.37
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: binutils
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: cristian.adam at gmail dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

We noticed with a MinGW 11.2.0 package that binutils 2.37's strip removes the
".gnu_debuglink" section from binaries.

This was not the case with MinGW 8.1.0 and binutils 2.30.

The removal of the ".gnu_debuglink" section results in gdb not loading the
separate debug binaries.

See how Qt is affected at https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-101653 

The workaround is to use a script that adds "--keep-section=.gnu_debuglink".
