Sourceware hiccuped my last copy.... I wrote:
If you're going to change the toolchain to solve this problem, this
isn't the way to do it. Just put the .debug_info section in a COMDAT
group with the section to be discarded. This should be a pretty

support.
Inter-compilation-unit references make this feasible.
