Please note that the data produced by "-g -fvar-tracking" is consumed
by tools like systemtap, perf, crash, and makes a significant
difference to the observability of debug AND non-debug kernels. (The
presence of compiled-in DEBUG_* self-checking code is orthogonal to
kernel observability via debuginfo.) Please consider only disabling
var-tracking optionally/temporarily to work around this already-fixed
compiler bug, but not losing high-quality dwarf data permanently.
