Ship debug information in a separate file from the shared library
By shipping the debug information in a separate file, downstream packages (e.g. the Ruby packages) can easily remove the debug information while packaging libddprof, but it's still very easy to restore it. This approach is documented in <https://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb/Separate-Debug-Files.html> and in the `objdump` man pages. Thanks @nsavoire for the tips. The `strip`'d file retains the `build-id` information. I've tested with `gdb` and it seems to work: ``` $ gdb libddprof_ffi.so GNU gdb (Ubuntu 11.1-0ubuntu2) 11.1 Reading symbols from libddprof_ffi.so... Reading symbols from /working/build-linux-amd64/lib/libddprof_ffi.so.debug...
