Yeah. Nothing egregiously bad leaps out at me from this information.
You could try compiling big parts of your program with "-g1"
instead of "-g". The default "-g" level is "-g2", which produces
much more debug info.
Also, in the future, maybe the linker could remove duplicate
information from dwarf-2 sections.
