You're probably better off ripping out -debuginfo generation on arm,
as Elf gets deep in a hurry, and I have no idea what state elfutils
is on arm.

debugedit is the helper that actually does the dirty, moving Elf sections
from the original executable into another file.

Poke me privately and I'll try to help you sort out the (quite rickety and
feeble imho, can't be helped) rpm configuration that invokes debugedit,
and copies source files into RPM_BUILD_ROOT locations.

BTW, I just got a Ipaq H3955, I'm gonna try to replace ipkg with rpm
this summer. Loot out ;-)
