This changes the behavior.

For the Dwarf-2 case,

Previously, -gdwarf-2 was passed to $(CC),
so the debug info was generated by gcc.

Now, -Wa,-gdwarf-2 is passed to $(CC).
-gdwarf-2 is handled by GNU as.
So, the source info points to /tmp/<hash>.s
instead of the original .c file.



Handling the Dwarf capability is very complicated.

Are you still working for v3?
