It doesn't.

No.  Code is needed in gcc.

It would be nice to switch to Dwarf-2 but no one has has stepped forward
to implement the required bits to handle this.  I don't remember what is
required, unfortunately, but I have discussed it with gcc engineers.  If
you're interested in working on this, asking in the gcc at gcc dot gnu dot org
mailing list would probably be the place to start.
