Could I actually ask what is the stripping of the static libraries good for? Why not to leave them with the symbols and leave the task of stripping/extracting of debug information to the statically linked PE binaries. Like that if one needs to debug a statically linked binary, one has the information that is needed.
I might be completely clueless though :)
Just 2 cents of the evil forker

While researching that situation I've discovered that the wrong RPM variable is being overridden. Instead of __os_install_post the variable __debug_install_post should be used. When __os_install_post is used, stripping of the static libraries doesn't occur anymore. So the new line should be:
%define __debug_install_post %{_mingw32_debug_install_post}
