Looking at
commit 866ced950bcd ("kbuild: Support split debug info v4")
I'm curious whether -gsplit-dwarf needed to be mutually exclusive with
-g, possibly for older compilers? Andi, do you recall?
I have gcc-9 handy; that doesn't seem to be the case. I get the same
size binary with `-gsplit-dwarf` as I do with `-g -gsplit-dwarf`.  So
it does seem like mutual exclusion between the two is not necessary.

x86_64-gcc-5.5.0-nolibc-x86_64-linux.tar.gz from
https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/tools/crosstool/files/bin/x86_64/5.5.0/
seems to really need libisl.so.15...
