Um.  Why?  This is not using dwarf2 cfi for unwinding; that is
still using setjmp.  This is using dwarf2 cfi for debugging,
which is exactly what you asked for when you said -gdwarf-2.

If you mean the assembler .cfi directives, you do not need
that in order for the build to succeed.  But that is detected
at configure time; if you have an assembler that accepts them
we will emit them, otherwise we'll emit the cfi data as .byte.

If you mean something else, I don't know what it is.
