The application where this is most useful (and why we implemented it
originally) is the case where /usr/obj isn't available - for instance,
a binary installation other than where the source tree was built.  If
you're going to keep /usr/obj around anyway then you can get most of
the benefit by just keeping the unstripped binaries / libs in there,
no?
