The go1 compiler always turns on debugging, to support Go stack traces and functions like runtime.Callers. With the recent switch to turn on DWARF 5 by default, this caused failures with some versions of gas, such as 2.35.1, because the assembly code would assume DWARF 5 but the driver would not pass --gdwarf-5 to gas. gas would then give an error: "file number less than one".
This change avoids that problem by having the gccgo driver spec add a -g option to the command line if no other -g option is present. The newly added -g option is passed to the assembler as --gdwarf-5. Bootstrapped and ran Go testsuite on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu. Committed to mainline. Ian * gospec.c (lang_specific_driver): Add -g if no debugging options were passed.
