-C split-debuginfo=packed generates duplicate .dwp files for shared objects

[jyn514]

I tried this code:

./configure --set rust.split-debuginfo=packed
x build --stage 0 compiler

I expected to see this happen: rustc/cargo generate a large .dwp file for rustc_driver.so and a small .dwp file for rustc-main.

Instead, this happened: Both crates have duplicate .dwp files:

I nominated this because I'd like to ship a split-debuginfo rustc-debug component (or similar) for Linux, but this is blocking the work because the size of the component would be too large until it's fixed.
