First, search for explicit strips and LDFLAGS=-s and disable it.
Second, define "__os_install_post" macro as "/usr/lib/rpm/brp-compress" in
the top of your spec file, like:

%define __os_install_post /usr/lib/rpm/brp-compress

and just recompile your src.rpm.

If you want to build a package with debug information just insert this line
into your ~.popt file:

--- CUT HERE ---

rpm alias --debuginfo --define 'optflags -ggdb' \
--define '__os_install_post /usr/lib/rpm/brp-compress'

--- CUT HERE ---

and rpm -ba --debuginfo fubar.spec will builds a package with debug information
for gdb.
