--- Comment #2 from Alan Modra <amodra at gmail dot com> ---
Part of a comment in bfd_section_size_insane says:
We choose an
arbitrary uncompressed size of 10x the file size, rather than
a compress ratio. The reason being that compiling
"int aaa..a;" with "a" repeated enough times can result in
compression ratios without limit for .debug_str, whereas such
a file will usually also have the enormous symbol
uncompressed in .symtab.
The problem with that idea is that .dwo files don't have .symtab.
