[Dwarf-Discuss] Selectively strip CUs from .debug_info?

Does anyone know of a tool that can strip debug info for specified
CUs from an executable? I'm not aware of a way to do this, but
there are many things I'm not aware of. ?
The use case is someone who wants to build the entire program
(which includes a number of 3rd-party libraries) with debug info,
so they'll have full symbols for crash dump analysis; but then
strip the debug info for those libraries, in order to speed up
debugger load time. In this scenario, stripping the 3rd-party
code before linking isn't going to satisfy the crash dump analysis
requirement.
I've also brought up split DWARF, but I'm not sure it fits the need.
Thanks,
