Hi Antoni,

not sure if it's the only or the best way, what I usually do when I
discover I need debug symbols is just to recompile the gcc/ folder
within the build directory using the flags I want.

You probably have seen already this page
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/jit/internals/index.html#environment-variables
with instructions on how to work with a non installed libgccjit in case
you don't want to install your dev build.
