You can see it at https://godbolt.org/z/6ed1oW For gcc 4.5.3 pane, line 37: .value 0x4 For clang 10.0.1 pane, line 117: .short 4 Given Documentation/process/changes.rst stating GCC 4.9 is the minimal version, this cc-option is unneeded. Note ---- CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_DWARF4 controls the DWARF version only for C files. As you can see in the top Makefile, -gdwarf-4 is only passed to CFLAGS. ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_DWARF4 DEBUG_CFLAGS += -gdwarf-4 endif This flag is used when compiling *.c files. On the other hand, the assembler is always given -gdwarf-2. KBUILD_AFLAGS += -Wa,-gdwarf-2 Hence, the debug info that comes from *.S files is always DWARF v2. This is simply because GAS supported only -gdwarf-2 for a long time. Recently, GAS gained the support for --dwarf-[3|4|5] options. [1] And, also we have Clang integrated assembler. So, the debug info for *.S files might be improved if we want. In my understanding, the current code is intentional, not a bug.
