Here is a run with strip from MinGW 11.2.0:

c:\Projects\Qt\build-mingw-qtbase\bin
$ strip --version
GNU strip (GNU Binutils) 2.37

c:\Projects\Qt\build-mingw-qtbase\bin
$ objdump -x Qt6Core.dll | findstr .gnu_debuglink
 13 .gnu_debuglink 00000014  0000000264537000  0000000264537000  005fca00  2**2

c:\Projects\Qt\build-mingw-qtbase\bin
$ strip Qt6Core.dll

c:\Projects\Qt\build-mingw-qtbase\bin
$ objdump -x Qt6Core.dll | findstr .gnu_debuglink

And below the run with strip from MinGW 8.1.0:

c:\Projects\Qt\build-mingw-qtbase\bin
$ strip --version

c:\Projects\Qt\build-mingw-qtbase\bin
$ strip Qt6Core.dll

c:\Projects\Qt\build-mingw-qtbase\bin
$ objdump -x Qt6Core.dll | findstr .gnu_debuglink
 13 .gnu_debuglink 00000014  0000000264537000  0000000264537000  005fca00  2**2


I will try upgrading binutils to version 2.38 and try again.
