>Description:

	upstream GCC 12 defaults to using DWARF version 5 output,
	which the CTF tools we have in netbsd are unable to handle.

	i changed netbsd native gcc12 to default back to version 4:

	https://mail-index.netbsd.org/source-changes/2023/08/03/msg146601.html

	this is clearly suboptimal and doesn't help eg, GCC 12 in
	pkgsrc, or GCC 13, or beyond etc.

>How-To-Repeat:

	build with -gdwarf-5 and then try to ctfconvert the output.
