Do you have more details here? On godbolt.org, gcc does report an error
for unsupported dwarf versions.
https://godbolt.org/z/G35798
gcc does not seem to pass the -gdwarf-* options to the assembler when
compiling C source. For assembler, gcc will pass an appropriate option
depending on the version of binutils it was configured with: if the
assembler doesn't support dwarf-5 it can call it with --gdwarf2 for eg.
If the user is using a properly configured toolchain it doesn't look
like it should be an issue to just use cc-option?
