You're right. Thank you for your thoughtful testing — I forgot to check
LLVM for v3. I thought maybe adding -Wa,-g0 would be enough, but it
turns out that GAS doesn't support that. If -g has been specified,
there doesn't seem to be any way to disable debug info again later in
the command line.
So we probably can't do better than v2 while LLVM_IAS=0 is supported.
The only other option I see is (untested):
asflags-y += -g0
asflags-remove-y += -Wa,-g -Wa,-gdwarf-4 -Wa,-gdwarf-5
But I don't like that option, because it means there are two completely
different ways of doing it depending on the compiler setup, and it makes
it even less likely anybody would remember to update asflags-remove-y
when DWARF 6 comes around or whatever.
