This might be it!
I will check and report next week.

I will try it once also as well as -O0 above and report back.

with -gsplit-dwarf and -O0
without -gsplit-dwarf and {-O,-O0}

[Oh wait, I got a better symbol handling the year before, and I think
I used -O instead of -O0. Well, let me try anyway afresh and report back.]

Thank you for the hints!
