This is not a shell script.
You can add spaces around '='

This might be a bit tricky, but you can do like this if you like:
dwarf-version-$(CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_DWARF2) := 2
dwarf-version-$(CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_DWARF3) := 3
dwarf-version-$(CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_DWARF5) := 5

Unneeded.

This is unneeded because the first entry

Please tell me how this script detects the dwarf-5 capability.
This script fails for GCC 10.
masahiro@...ver:~/workspace/linux-kbuild$
./scripts/test_dwarf5_support.sh clang
masahiro@...ver:~/workspace/linux-kbuild$ echo $?
0
masahiro@...ver:~/workspace/linux-kbuild$
./scripts/test_dwarf5_support.sh gcc-10

{standard input}:1: Error: file number less than one
masahiro@...ver:~/workspace/linux-kbuild$ echo $?
1
The manual says the fileno should be "a positive integer".
.file fileno filename
When emitting dwarf2 line number information .file assigns filenames
to the .debug_line file name table.
The fileno operand should be a unique positive integer to use as the
index of the entry in the table.
The filename operand is a C string literal.
The detail of filename indices is exposed to the user because the
filename table is shared with the
.debug_info section of the dwarf2 debugging information, and thus
the user must know the exact indices
that table entries will have.
So, I modified the script as follows:
masahiro@...ver:~/workspace/linux-kbuild$ git diff
diff --git a/scripts/test_dwarf5_support.sh b/scripts/test_dwarf5_support.sh
index 82c0eea45845..8d7213e8e51f 100755

But, GCC 4.9 also passes this check.

Some nit-pickings.
echo '.file 0 "asdf"'
... might look cleaner because you do not need to
use escaping inside the single-quotes.
'set -u' seems to have no effect because "$*"
is the only variable expansion in this script.
-u Treat unset variables and parameters other than
the special parameters "@" and
"*" as an error when performing parameter
expansion. If expansion is attempted
on an unset variable or parameter, the shell
prints an error message, and, if
not interactive, exits with a non-zero status.
