 Now that I've had a chance to look at the patch in detail I see
 another issue - STRIPBIN is set to the absolute path
 /usr/src/tools/stripbin.sh and will not use the file in the source
 tree.
 
 To address this and more easily accommodate changes that brooks@ has
 in the pipeline we could follow the model used in kern.post.mk:
 explicitly invoke objcopy --only-keep-debug and --add-gnu-debuglink.
 It does mean we'd need to build ${PROG}.debug though, and objcopy to
 ${PROG} and ${PROG}.symbols in the objdir.
