What if you disable the hack in sys/conf/kern.mk to use dwarf-2?

If '-gdwarf-4' works then you can just set that in the DEBUG makeoptions as a
test, otherwise try hacking kern.mk to disable this bit:

#
# Add -gdwarf-2 when compiling -g. The default starting in clang v3.4
# and gcc 4.8 is to generate DWARF version 4. However, our tools don't
# cope well with DWARF 4, so force it to genereate DWARF2, which they
# understand. Do this unconditionally as it is harmless when not needed,
# but critical for these newer versions.
#
.if ${CFLAGS:M-g} != "" && ${CFLAGS:M-gdwarf*} == ""
CFLAGS+=        -gdwarf-2
.endif
