>Description:
	
	Attempting to build a kernel with debug symbols fails, as follows.

ld -n -Ttext 0 -e start -X -o netbsd ${SYSTEM_OBJ} vers.o
text	data	bss	dec	hex	filename
1146804	68044  	223852 	1438700	15f3ec 	netbsd
cp netbsd netbsd.gdb
strip -d netbsd

strip: Can not allocate 1146804 bytes after allocating 31515800 bytes
*** Error code 1

Stop.
>How-To-Repeat:
	
	Simply configure and make a kernel with "makeoptions DEBUG=-g",
	as suggested in the GENERIC kernel config.
>Fix:
	
	Invoking ld with "-S" rather than "-X" works better. Doing so via
	"make netbsd DEBUG=" almost works, but it has the side-effect of
	incrementing the version number. So the work around is:
	1) "make build"
	2) "rm netbsd"; "rm st[1-9]*" # clean up after "strip".
	3) "vi version" # decrement version number
	4) "make netbsd DEBUG="

	Whatever's wrong with strip, it would make sense, perhaps, to edit 
	/sys/arch/${arch}/conf/Makefile.${arch} to make the two kernels in
	two link steps (but without incrementing the version number).
