I think that it is simply a case of passing each object file to
objcopy after gcc has created it. Can libtool handle this or is it
best handled by a wrapper script? Eg g++_fast_link:
#! /bin/sh
OBJFILE=`extract_objfile_name_from_command_line_args`
objcopy --set-section-flags .debug_str=contents,debug ${OBJFILE}
