Yes, I plan to revisit the series based on all of the feedback thus
far. Lately I'm focused on enabling LLVM_IAS=1 for Android; but I
would like to see this land so that the Linux kernel may provide
coverage and feedback to the toolchain developers for DWARF v5 (as
well as reduced binary image sizes). Maybe later this week I'll have
time to revisit.
