It's intentional, if a bit obtuse:
We don't want to check the assembler support for -Wa,-gdwarf-5 via
compiler driver when CC=gcc; instead, we'll rely on how GCC was
configured as per Arvind.

Ah right, and I forget your point about kbuild/Kbuild. Will wait for
more feedback then send a v6 next week. Thanks as always for the
feedback.
