It appears that portions of the LTO information are emitted in the usual
debugging sections, rather, information that would already be present there
is shared. This is great for reducing the size of object files that
contain both
LTO info and debugging info, but means that LTO breaks if 'strip --strip-debug'
has been run on object files submitted to it as input. Is this intended or
desirable behavior?
