      In SERVER-68475 we started using `-fdebug-types-section` to get around debug info limits. this flags makes the debug info less useable for certain softwares and several bugs have been reported about the reliability of the debug info.

      We should only use this flag if necessary, which as far as my testing from SERVER-68475 goes, was just v3 gcc (dwarf4) static builds without split dwarf.

      We should at most only use it in v3 gcc dwarf4 static builds. I am not sure about the relationship with split-dwarf.
