I dropped "LLVM_IAS=1" from my make line and did for my next build:

$ scripts/diffconfig /boot/config-5.11.0-rc3-8-amd64-clang12-pgo .config
BUILD_SALT "5.11.0-rc3-8-amd64-clang12-pgo" -> "5.11.0-rc3-10-amd64-clang12-pgo"
DEBUG_INFO_DWARF2 n -> y
DEBUG_INFO_DWARF5 y -> n
PGO_CLANG y -> n

Means dropped DWARF5 support.
