--- Comment #6 from Alan Modra <amodra at gmail dot com> ---
Archives are typically used as static libraries, that is, they contain a group
of relocatable object files.  I don't think that splitting off debug info to a
separate archive makes sense for relocatable object files.  You'd make the
debug info unusable when linking the static library, and any gnu-debuglink
notes will be dropped by the linker.

So, what is in your foo.a that makes sense to objcopy --add-gnu-debuglink?
