+Other options for build type are also possible:

+ leaves the symbol map in the binary.
+* ``FastDebug``
+* ``RelWithDebInfo``: applies compiler optimizations and it removes the symbol

Review comment:
[This cmake
files](https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/cpp/cmake_modules/SetupCxxFlags.cmake#L575-L630)
is where these flags are resolved.
* `Debug` sets `-g -O0` (and possibly `-ggdb`)
* `FastDebug` sets `-g -O1` (and possibly `-ggdb`)
* `RelWithDebInfo` does not sets anything in particular?
* `Release` sets `-gO3 -DNDEBUG`
* `Profile_Gen` sets `-gO3 -DNDEBUG -fprofile-generate`
* `Profile_Build` sets `-gO3 -DNDEBUG -fprofile-use`
`-ggdb` is set only if `ARROW_GGDB_DEBUG` is defined.
Some more detailed info is in the [*Bonus Material* section of this
blog](https://bytefreaks.net/programming-2/cc-how-do-you-set-gdb-debug-flag-g-with-cmake).
