I don't know if there is anything wrong with that reasoning. It seems 
reasonable. I also hope that we won't need to take the detour of first 
generating the symbols and then strip them, but instead can add them 
directly to the debuginfo, if we should choose to do things this way.

Can anyone from serviceability chip in? Would it be okay for SA to 
require a .debuginfo or .diz file to be able to extract all the internal 
hotspot symbols?
