>From GCC (svn) man page:
-feliminate-unused-debug-symbols
Produce debugging information in stabs format (if that is sup‐
ported), for only symbols that are actually used.
-feliminate-unused-debug-types
Normally, when producing DWARF2 output, GCC will emit debugging
information for all types declared in a compilation unit, regard‐
less of whether or not they are actually used in that compilation
unit. Sometimes this is useful, such as if, in the debugger, you
want to cast a value to a type that is not actually used in your
program (but is declared). More often, however, this results in a
significant amount of wasted space. With this option, GCC will
avoid producing debug symbol output for types that are nowhere used
in the source file being compiled.
-feliminate-dwarf2-dups
Compress DWARF2 debugging information by eliminating duplicated
information about each symbol. This option only makes sense when
generating DWARF2 debugging information with -gdwarf-2.
