What the heck is dwarf2?
It's a format for representing debugging information (symbol offsets, etc.) in/alongside object files. I think we were building object files with the debug information in Stabs format on Windows before.
(The other common options on Windows would be the inbuilt COFF facilities, which aren't actually very useful, or PDB format, which I believe is what the Microsoft toolchain uses, but as far as I know the GNU toolchain doesn't support PDB.)
