------- Comment #4 from ian at airs dot com 2006-04-03 22:57 ------- -feliminate-unused-debug-symbols only applies to stabs debugging. I'm talking about DWARF (which I admit I didn't say explicitly, although my examples were all for DWARF).
You might reasonably ask about -feliminate-unused-debug-types, which does apply to DWARF, but that is on by default. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26965
