[llvm-dev] Enabling debug information for debug only

[Zachary Turner via llvm-dev]

Another solution is to build the entire program with debug info, then write
a small shell sscript which crawls your tree using objcopy or something to
strip out the debug symbols, then re-run your build step.  It should see
the object files as not being out of date since they are newer than the
source files, but the final executable being out of date since the object
files are newer than the executable.  So it should simply re-link with
debug info stripped out of whichever files you ran objcopy on.  This has
the nice property that you don't have to make local changes to cmake, and
you can keep this script somewhere in your local repository.
