rpm debugedit is a tool that extracts debug info from binaries, allowing
packages to include small, stripped binaries while still providing debug
symbols etc. to those who need it, in a separate file.

When using it on anything built with llvm-gcc (including stuff it works on when
it was built with gcc, using identical makefiles), it complains that

/usr/lib/rpm/bin/debugedit: canonicalization unexpectedly shrank by one
character


This is usually caused by an extra / in a path name; the typical way to trigger
it would be

mkdir src
cat > src/foo.c <<EOF
int
main(int argc, char **argv)
{
        return 0;
}
EOF
cd src
gcc -g3 -o foo ../src//foo.c
/usr/lib/rpm/debugedit -b `pwd` -d / foo

(see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=304121)


given there are no extra slashes in path names in the code being built
(debugedit works if it's built with gcc), llvm-gcc is likely bringing in an
extra / somewhere.
