Hi Ben,
AFAIK that part of the gdb is used only to separate debuginfo in
%post_install.
Some times ago IIRC for exactly the same operation was used eu-strip used
-o to save stripped part in debuginfo files.
Even if eu-strip is not doing stripping correctly better would be better to
fix it or modify binutils strip to implement -o option from elfutils strip.
Using gdb for saving debuginfo looks like overkill and elfutils is +10
smaller and depends only on glibc.
$ rpm -q --qf "%{NAME}\t%{SIZE}\n" gdb-headless elfutils
gdb-headless 18123356
elfutils 1245125
