Sorry, but I'm not sure why this would be needed? There is a new
configure flag supporting these use-cases (including yours?):

no debug symbols: --with-native-debug-symbols=none (or old mechanims)
zipped debug symbols: --with-native-debug-symbols=zipped (or old mechanism)
no stripping at all: --with-native-debug-symbols=internal (no supported way previously)
external debug symbols: --with-native-debug-symbols=external (or old mechanism)

Why would you want to continue some unsupported way to produce the
equivalent of --with-native-debug-symbols=internal?

Fix is simple enough, but it also encourages people to *not* change
their build scripts to the supported configure option :-(

Thanks,
Severin
