Comment # 3 on bug 1203497 from Tom de Vries

I did the following experiment on openSUSE Leap 15.4.

I identified the files that contribute the debug info to the a.out:
- /usr/lib64/crt1.o
- /usr/lib64/crti.o
- /usr/lib64/crtn.o
- /usr/lib64/libc_nonshared.a (more specifically, elf-init.oS)

I confirmed that these are all in glibc-devel.

I stripped these (the 3 .o files and the .a file) using:
...
$ sudo strip --strip-debug $f                                                   
...

I confirmed that the a.out no longer has debug info.

Then I ran the gdb test suite.  Clean results.
