the complexity is reduced compared to what we had before.
I asked about the macro rewrite on the devel list:
<https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.o...
My position on the static archives is that if we want debugging
information for them, that should be a distribution-wide change
(which I proposed a few years ago, but it was rejected).
Thanks,

This needs a wrapper script around find-debuginfo.sh, so that
ld.so is not stripped. Overall size for glibc.rpm with and without
this change is reduced on x86_64:
Before: 16146907
After: 14396635
This commit resolves debuginfo file conflicts (#1886295) because
the ldconfig debuginfo file now includes the architecture name.
All debugging information is preserved in ld.so (#1905611). With
the distribution defaults, we strip all binaries again (#1661510).
What size impact does this have on ld.so
I'm curious because we've been working to reduce the size of the
minimal container images by MiB's at a time.
I think having debug information all the way down to the loader is
valuable from an observability point of view. I just want to know
what it will cost in terms of size... and be able to justify that.
