Description
Is there a way to encode debug information?
MSVC toolchains can embed debug information, or generate external PDB files.
GNU toolchains can also embed debug information, or [split the dwarf information into an external library](https://www.tweag.io/blog/2023-11-23-debug-fission/).

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing the CPS specification and how it represents toolchain or build metadata, then compare the requested embedded and external PDB/DWARF cases. Done should be a decided, documented way for CPS to represent debug information.
