This is done the same way as for other objects, that is using:

          find . -name \*crt\*.o -exec objcopy                         
            --only-keep-debug '{}' ../$(libc)-dbg/usr/lib/debug/'{}'   
            ';' || true;                                               
          find . -name \*crt\*.o -exec objcopy                         
            --add-gnu-debuglink=../$(libc)-dbg/usr/lib/debug/'{}'      
            '{}' ';' || true);                                         
         find debian/$(curpass) -name \*crt\*.o -exec                  
           strip --strip-debug --remove-section=.comment               
           --remove-section=.note --strip-unneeded '{}' ';' || true;
