Re:Reducing Rust Incremental Compilation Times on macOS by the_mitsuhiko on Sunday April 18, 2021 @05:06AM (#26850941)
The dsym is basically just a macho anyways. It used to just emit it as part of the main binary and then asked dsymutil to split it off.

If you do want to retain it entirely you can set `split-debuginfo` to `off` and it will remain in the final executable.

The advantage of the `unpacked` version is that the debug info just stays associated with the original object files instead of the executable. This makes handling them harder obviously but is good enough for a lot of use cases.
