Thanks for the explanation, I see -fdebug-types-section -flto does work with
trunk without any patch, great!

I do not think anyone is interested in those, for DWARF-5 they are officially
removed:
http://www.dwarfstd.org/doc/DWARF5.pdf
 * Replace the .debug_pubnames and .debug_pubtypes sections with a single and
   more functional name index section, .debug_names .

And for DWARF-4 those were replaced by GNU .gdb_index .
