[pushed] Darwin, debug : Switch to DWARF 3 or 4 when dsymutil supports it.
Checks
Commit Message
Tested on i686, x86_64 and aarch64 Darwin, also on x86_64 and aarch64
Linux. Having said this, some fallout might well be expected on Darwin
since the consumers have not had much use with GCC output where the
DWARF version is > 2, we will have to tackle that as it arises.
pushed to trunk, thanks,
Iain

The main reason that Darwin has been using DWARF2 only as debug is that
earlier debug linkers (dsymutil) did not support any extensions to this
so that the default "non-strict" mode used in GCC would cause tool errors.
There are two sources for dsymutil, those based off a closed source base
"dwarfutils" and those based off LLVM.
For dsymutil versions based off LLVM-7+ we can use up to DWARF-4, and for
versions based on dwarfutils 121+ we can use DWARF-3.

gcc/ChangeLog:
* config/darwin-protos.h (enum darwin_external_toolchain): New.
* config/darwin.cc (DSYMUTIL_VERSION): New.
(darwin_override_options): Choose the default debug DWARF version
depending on the configured dsymutil version.
