Yes, I'm talking about the automatically generated -dbgsym packages that 
contain the /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/... files.  I have looked into it 
further and the problem seems to be happening during the link phase.  I 
checked the individual .o files (for the Python 3 version) and they all 
contain .debug_str and I can see the symbol names with readelf 
--debug-dump=str.  But then after linking, they are gone.  I ran the exact 
same link command on the Python 2 .o files and the resulting .so has the 
debug info.

Rather bizarre.  I don't know what to think.  g++ (or whatever actually 
does the linking?) doesn't like the Python 3 debug info and discards it?
