FreeBSD previously defaulted to DWARF 2 because several tools (gdb,
ctfconvert, etc.) did not support later versions. These have either
been fixed or are deprecated.
Note that gdb 6 still exists but has been moved out of $PATH into
/usr/libexec and is intended only for use by crashinfo(8). The kernel
build sets the DWARF version explicitly via -gdwarf2, so this should
have no effect there.
