NOTE2: DWARF v5 is the new debugging format generated by the latest LLVM and GCC
compilers. It offers several benefits over the previous DWARF v4. Currently, the

optimize binaries produced by the latest compilers, until the support is
complete, you will not be able to update the debug info with
`-update-debug-sections`. To temporarily work around the issue, we recommend
compiling binaries with `-gdwarf-4` option that forces DWARF v4 output.
