Now, it would also seem that debuginfo isn't generated properly when
the library is built alongside the compiler [1], so it would seem to be
preferable also for this reason to use a pregenerated source tarball.

This would naturally also reduce the size of the build logs, which are
now pretty huge (360MB).
