Kbuild: Add a option to enable dwarf4 v2

It definitely increases the debug information size, but on the other hand this isn't so bad when debug fusion is used. v2: Use cc-option Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Signed-off-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz>
