Bug 309210 made it so debug symbols are stripped from the xforms lib when packaging it in the XPI.  However, it does the stripping for debug builds also, so I can't set breakpoints when trying to debug XForms.
Attached patch patch (obsolete) — Splinter Review
Don't strip symbols if MOZ_DEBUG is defined.

patch

not really a build config bug, but a xforms bug :)

Actually, I'm wondering if we shouldn't wrap the rule in rules.mk with "ifndef MOZ_DEBUG", since I don't really see a reason why we would want to strip if we are building debug.  If not, this forces everyone who defines STRIP_XPI to also wrap it with the ifdef.
Same goes for Linux.
This should be fixed in rules.mk.  It would be foolish to make all users add the MOZ_DEBUG check around STRIP_XPI.
