Description: Generate DWARF Version 5 debuginfo
More info: Generate DWARF v5 debug info. Requires binutils 2.35.2, gcc 5.0+ (gcc 5.0+ accepts the -gdwarf-5 flag but only had partial support for some draft features until 7.0), and gdb 8.0+. Changes to the structure of debug info in Version 5 allow for around 15-18% savings in resulting image and debug info section sizes as compared to DWARF Version 4. DWARF Version 5 standardizes previous extensions such as accelerators for symbol indexing and the format for fission (.dwo/.dwp) files. Users may not want to select this config if they rely on tooling that has not yet been updated to support DWARF Version 5.
