+ If you say Y here gcc is instructed to generate less debugging
+ information for structure types. This means that tools that
+ need full debugging information (like kgdb or systemtap) won't
+ be happy. But if you merely need debugging information to
+ resolve line numbers there is no loss. Advantage is that
+ build directory object sizes shrink dramatically over a full
+ DEBUG_INFO build and compile times are reduced too.
+ Only works with newer gcc versions.
