i keep DEBUG_INFO turned off all the time, and only turn it on if
really needed. But in that case i can just turn it on and rebuild:
recent gccs seem better at keeping the image unmodified. (or at least
so i kid myself)

Years ago the image would mute a bit with DEBUG_INFO enabled, making
the splat info fuzzy. Seems better now.
