b3658bc01b separateDebugInfo: compress it by default
Using zlib should be cheap enough and save lots of HDD space.
Case study (glib): 11 MB -> 4 MB.

ec5b66eb4a Enable separate debug info
You can now pass

  separateDebugInfo = true;

to mkDerivation. This causes debug info to be separated from ELF
binaries and stored in the "debug" output. The advantage is that it
enables installing lean binaries, while still having the ability to
make sense of core dumps, etc.
