- Revert re-enable binary stripping and debuginfo boo#1210938.
  go1.19 and earlier store pre-compiled packages in $GOROOT/pkg as
  Go .a files which are not ar archives. These .a are incorrectly
  passed to strip by brp-15-strip-debug. strip incorrectly modifies
  Go .a files rendering them invalid. Some Go applications fail to
  build with "reference to nonexistent package" errors.
  Refs boo#1210938 boo#1211073
  * go1.19 and earlier store pre-compiled packages for the standard
    library as .a files under pkg/GOARCH[_{dynlink,race}].
  * Go emitted .a files are a Go specific format, not ar archives.
  * go1.10+ stores recently built packages in build cache GOCACHE.
    These are separate from the installed packages in $GOROOT/pkg.
  * Go build cache objects use a different file format than Go .a.
  * go1.20+ switches to the GOCACHE for both recently built
    packages and the installed packages in $GOROOT/pkg.
  * Current versions of readelf detect Go .a files correctly, e.g.:
    readelf -d /usr/lib64/go/1.19/pkg/linux_amd64/bytes.a
    File: /usr/lib64/go/1.19/pkg/linux_amd64/bytes.a(__.PKGDEF       )
    readelf: Error: This is a GO binary file - try using 'go tool objdump' or 'go tool nm'
  * binutils strip as of 2.40 detects Go .a files correctly, but
    incorrectly modifies the .a files altering path resulting in
    "reference to nonexistent package" errors.
  * brp_check_suse/brp-15-strip-debug passes files to strip based
    primarily on the file extension including .a. (forwarded request 1084541 from jfkw)
