# - We might prefer to compress the debug info during link-time already,
# but our ld doesn't support --compress-debug-sections=zlib (yet).
# - Debug info may cause problems due to excessive memory usage during linking.
# Using -Wa,--compress-debug-sections should help with that;
# further interesting information: https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/DebugFission
