Just to be a bit clearer, I have a single ~/.rpmmacros with everything
that cares about the arch using %{_target_cpu} ...

%packager Andy Green <andy warmcat com>
%vendor Octotux (http://octotux.org)
%_signature gpg
%_gpg_name Octotux Packaging
%_gpg_path ~/.gnupg
%_topdir /projects/octotux/packages/rpm
%crosspath /opt/%{_target_cpu}/bin
%develfilesystem %{_topdir}/devel-filesystem-%{_target_cpu}
%__strip %crosspath/%{_target_cpu}-linux-strip
%__objdump %crosspath/%{_target_cpu}-linux-objdump
%__patch            /usr/bin/patch -f
%_use_internal_dependency_generator     0

I guess the debuginfo problem you saw was because you did not override
%__strip, defnitely debuginfo rpms are generated and work fine on arm
with gdb.
