Comment 2 Ben Woodard 2017-07-19 17:39:18 UTC

After talking to mjw we decided that it was best to deliver this first in DTS and then later in RHEL.

Comment 3 Mark Wielaard 2017-08-03 12:32:42 UTC

elfutils 0.170 was released with partial DWARF5 support:

libdw: Added new DWARF5 attribute, tag, character encoding, language code,
       calling convention, defaulted member function and macro constants
       to dwarf.h.
       New functions dwarf_default_lower_bound and dwarf_line_file.
       dwarf_peel_type now handles DWARF5 immutable, packed and shared tags.
       dwarf_getmacros now handles DWARF5 .debug_macro sections.

This isn't full DWARF5 support, but it is all the DWARF5 you can encounter in "non-strict" DWARF mode (aka DWARF4 plus extensions that don't alter any data structures/forms). Which is enough for purposes of this bug/feature.

Comment 5 Martin Cermak 2017-09-15 15:05:31 UTC

Made sure elfutils-0.168-8.el7 do not have the minimal DWARF5 support in terms of attached testcase 560859, and verified, that this minimal support is in place within devtoolset-7-elfutils-0.170-1.el{6,7}
