I removed the 3 debug sections from libgo that were listed on the
objcopy command.
I left in: debug_info, debug_line, debug_abbrev, debug_ranges, and
debug_str in their original form.

What percentage of the total size of .debug sections got removed by
this process?
A problem with that approach is that .debug_info and .debug_abbrevs
sections are large but are almost entirely unnecessary to just get
file/line information. Unfortunately almost unnecessary is not the
same as completely unnecessary; they can be greatly reduced, but not
completely eliminated.
