--- Comment #3 from Jan Palus <jpalus at fastmail dot com> ---
If I understand it correctly in binutils primary criteria for removing sect=
ion
is whether it is marked with SEC_DEBUGGING flag:

https://sourceware.org/git/?p=3Dbinutils-gdb.git;a=3Dblob;f=3Dbinutils/objc=
opy.c;h=3Dd20aaef9f4f2e2a910bd7bf666dab6e3c158fc1b;hb=3DHEAD#l1366

and the flag for ELF seems to be set here:

https://sourceware.org/git/?p=3Dbinutils-gdb.git;a=3Dblob;f=3Dbfd/elf.c;h=
=3D81825b748d75f2b68a6cca1c54b126df53c36dc2;hb=3DHEAD#l1093

          if (startswith (name, ".debug")
              || startswith (name, ".gnu.debuglto_.debug_")
              || startswith (name, ".gnu.linkonce.wi.")
              || startswith (name, ".zdebug"))
            flags |=3D SEC_DEBUGGING | SEC_ELF_OCTETS;
          else if (startswith (name, GNU_BUILD_ATTRS_SECTION_NAME)
                   || startswith (name, ".note.gnu"))
            {
              flags |=3D SEC_ELF_OCTETS;
              opb =3D 1;
            }
          else if (startswith (name, ".line")
                   || startswith (name, ".stab")
                   || strcmp (name, ".gdb_index") =3D=3D 0)
            flags |=3D SEC_DEBUGGING;
