This works fine. Thanks.
I was going to suggest the use of objcopy --compress-debug-sections, but it
appears that does nothing for PE/COFF files at the moment [1] :-(
[1] http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14067
That bug has been fixed for a while, so how about the attached?
This appears to reduce the disk space used by .dbg files to about 1/3 of
the size, so seems worthwhile.
