Encountered error while encoding BTF due to Unsupported DW_TAG_unspecified_type(0x3b)

I noticed one can't build 5.19 with latest binutils master.

One see the following error:
[ 1413s]   BTF     .btf.vmlinux.bin.o
[ 1413s] Unsupported DW_TAG_unspecified_type(0x3b)
[ 1413s] Encountered error while encoding BTF.

It's caused by DWARF coming from .S files and the change is introduced since
the following binutils revision:

commit 5578fbf672ee497ea19826edeb509f4cc3e825a8
Author: Nick Clifton <nickc@xxxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Thu Aug 25 11:48:00 2022 +0100

    GAS: Add a return type tag to DWARF DIEs generated for function symbols.

for entry.S the output changes to:

$ as-new --gdwarf-5 --64 -o entry.o entry.S && readelf -wi entry.o
Contents of the .debug_info section:

Is it something pahole should handle?

Thanks,
Martin
