Excellent hint.

The only place I found LDFLAGS is:

-14: GNUconfigure(MCs:)
   CFLAGS="${CFLAGS:-%optflags}" ; export CFLAGS;
   LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS:-%{-s:-s}}"  ; export LDFLAGS;

And, no surprise, -s is there.
But after searching for a very long time I did not find the place where 
I could change this.

Another interesting fact (at least for me) is:
-14: __os_install_post  %{_runtimeprefix}/usr/lib/rpm/brp-compress
                 %{_runtimeprefix}/usr/lib/rpm/brp-strip
                 %{_runtimeprefix}/usr/lib/rpm/brp-strip-comment-note
                 %{_runtimeprefix}/usr/lib/rpm/brp-strip-shared
                 %{_runtimeprefix}/usr/lib/rpm/brp-strip-static-archive
                 %{nil}

I haven't found any reference of brp-strip but I assume that this will 
also strip the binaries. To rule this out I have already modified 
brp-strip (exit 0 at the top) but the resulting ld-2.6.so is still the same.


Any ideas?
