I haven't had time to study this closely yet but I think having a plugin 
to strip the native debug symbols would be good to have. I suspect that 
jlink will need a bit of support for integrating platform specific 
plugins into the build as tools such as objdump and options such as 
--add-gun-debuglink aren't going to make sense everywhere. From the 
examples, I also wonder about unwieldily command lines usages and 
whether having a platform specific plugin would make this a bit easier.
