[PATCH] kbuild: pacman-pkg: package unstripped vDSO libraries

From: Thomas Weißschuh

Date: Wed Mar 18 2026 - 16:45:18 EST


The unstripped vDSO files are useful for debugging.
They are provided in the upstream 'linux-headers' package.

Also package them as part of 'make pacman-pkg'.
Make them part of the '-debug' package, as they fit there best.
This differs from the upstream package as that has no '-debug' variant.

In my opinion the same would be useful for debian and rpm packages.
Maybe we should have install-extmod-debug, similar to
install-extmod-build, to centralize these.
