I do remember that we needed architecture-dependent debug options on a
system I worked on in the past, because the preferred debug format was
different on different platforms (all using gcc/binutils/gdb).

Always having debug info in the ELF file should not cause problems IMHO,
and one set of settings per platform should be enough.
