Hello,
Transcribing it here because not everyone may see it.
From the PR https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/11509:
wilzbach:
>> Add `-gdwarf-<version>` compiler switch
>Shouldn't the switch be -gdwarf=5 to be consistent with DMD's
>other flags? Then, it's also >possible for the user to list all
>available options.
me:
> Maybe, but Clang and GCC have the -gdwarf-<version> switch, so
> I added the same for consistency between different compilers.
> What do you think ?
wilzbach:

So, what's your point of view, guys ?
