Perhaps nothing went wrong.  That is where debuginfo is normally installed on a
great many systems.  If your system is different, find out where your system
stores debuginfo and modify the SPEC file.  Another possibility is that
you are missing the utility to strip the debuginfo into separate files.
The compiler includes it in the object code.
