Bug 1661508

I tried to restore the old behavior with the current find-debuginfo.sh script, with a change like this:

diff --git a/glibc.spec b/glibc.spec
index 5a388aed..6bb329bc 100644

+cat libonly-debuginfo.filelist nolib-debuginfo.filelist > debuginfo.filelist
 
 # List all of the *.a archives in the debug directory.
 list_debug_archives()

But I don't think invoking the script multiple times like this will work because find-debuginfo.sh is really designed to process all files and then handle the -l split afterwards.

Fixed with this patch:

Verified,

glibc-2.17-290.el7 contains stripped binaries, it also produces stripped binaries during rpmbuild -bb
