+@item --strip-dwo
+Remove the contents of all DWARF .dwo sections, leaving the

+This option is intended for use by the compiler as part of
+the @option{-gsplit-dwarf} option, which splits debug information
+between the .o file and a separate .dwo file. The compiler
+generates all debug information in the same file, then uses
+the @option{--extract-dwo} option to copy the .dwo sections to
+the .dwo file, then the @option{--strip-dwo} option to remove
+those sections from the original .o file.
