Nice catch Nathan.

Just FYI:

The patch...

"kbuild: Remove $(cc-option,-gdwarf-4) dependency from DEBUG_INFO_DWARF4"

... has now entered kbuild-next.
( This patch is included in this patch-series. )

So should we point to this one and add a comment?
Thinking of a next version of this DWARF5 support patch-series.
