That's why DJ said that people who need this can use -g0.  Won't it
solve your problem in this case?

Alternatively, I think "strip --strip-debug" will remove debugging
symbols added by -g, but leave enough to have meaningful traceback.

The automatic implication of -s is for those who don't know how to use
command-line options, but do know how to ask questions.  Keeping the
flood of those questions as low as we can is always a good idea,
IMHO.
