I asked Peter O'Gorman about this issue, and he said

Also, he said that it could help if you reported a bug at
<http://bugreporter.apple.com>, under the notion that the
more people file bugs with them, the more they will understand
what problems users have with the dsymutils issues.
Just to clarify - I'd like an ld option similar to GNU ld's
--whole-archive --no-whole-archive to allow loading of all memebers of
selective archives. If this option were available libtool would not
need
to unpack all the members of convenience libraries (and later delete
them) and there would be no need for libtool to run dsymutil. So if
you
are going to file a bug with apple, file one requesting that feature.
If this continues to be a problem, I might consider not deleting the
unpacked object files on darwin, on the theory that disk is cheap, but
I'd really rather not waste everyones disk space with multiple
copies of
the same object files like that.
Jeff, I attempted to subscribe to the list to post this, but have not
yet gotten a confirmation, you may have to approve this post.
