I believe to be responsible for this, specifically with this debugedit
commit:

commit bd392272c04d608257eb999670d85261d5125d93
Author: Jan Palus <atler at pld-linux.org>

    bring back patch from rpm 4.16 for no exe bit when searching debuginfo; rel 2

which now considers non-executable object file matching pattern
found in `find-debuginfo`: ^\(.*\):[   ]*.*ELF.*, not stripped.*

Which in turn causes object file to be passed to `eu-strip` directly
responsible for stripping .note.GNU-stack section.

Fix proposals:

1. modify `find-debuginfo` pattern to include ELF.*\(executable\|shared object\)
2. modify macros to invoke `find-debuginfo` with `--keep-section .note.GNU-stack`
3. both 1 and 2

Comments welcome.
