Kbuild: Add a option to enable dwarf4 v2
I found that a lot of unresolvable variables when using gdb on the kernel become resolvable when dwarf4 is enabled. So add a Kconfig flag to enable it. It definitely increases the debug information size, but on the other hand this isn't so bad when debug fusion is used. v2: Use cc-option Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Signed-off-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz>
