How about strip -s <filename> as a post-compile step before shipping?
That way you erase the debug symbols. If later a user complains about a
bug, or about a supposed bug, you're forced to recompile everything, and
if something has changed in between, you can't tell what's the cause of
the trouble.
If you keep the debug symbols in a separate file, you have the best of
both worlds. You may choose whether to ship debug symbols or not, you
may debug again exactly the same binary you shipped, you may ship later
the debug symbols if you need to have someone debug on the field, etc.
etc. It's just a compiler flag you never need to change. Then it's up to
you to decide what to ship and what to keep.
