Hm, a first look into this issue showed me that the problem happens because upstream always invokes strip when building the objects that get shipped into qemu-system-data. For example, this is the excerpt from pc-bios/s390-ccw/Makefile:

s390-ccw.img: s390-ccw.elf
        $(call quiet-command,$(STRIP) --strip-unneeded $< -o $@,Stripping $< into)

Unfortunately these Makefiles don't take into account the "--disable-strip" configuration option that we pass when building qemu.

My first plan here is to determine how hard it is to extend the Makefiles and make them honour the "--disable-strip" option, but it may be worth simply commenting these strips out.
