That's interesting, the option doesn't show up in g++ --verbose --help so I 
wasn't aware it existed. There's also -gz I see now, which could be useful for 
those components for which I do want more complete debug info. I don't know if 
dwz converts to that format but it certainly seems effective (so thanks for the 
tip, Konstantin!).

Great, I'll try to remember!
