--- Comment #53 from Jakub Jelinek <jakub at gcc dot gnu.org> --- Comment on attachment 50460 --> https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=50460 Slightly adjusted patch to fix errors Thanks for fixing my bugs, but there is another one: if (TARGET_PECOFF && opts_set->x_dwarf_version) should have been really if (TARGET_PECOFF && !opts_set->x_dwarf_version) The intent was to make -gdwarf-4 the default for broken linker, but still support -gdwarf-5 in the hope that when using it explictly, the user has updated his linker. Another option is to issue a warning or inform for the #ifdef HAVE_LD_BROKEN_PE_DWARF5 if (TARGET_PECOFF && opts_set->x_dwarf_version && opts->x_dwarf_version >= 5) case and reset it to -gdwarf-4.
