DWARF 4 allows this:

The enumeration type entry may have a DW_AT_type attribute which refers to the
underlying
data type used to implement the enumeration.

I think this is definitely needed for "enum class", where the base
type can be specified by the user.
However, emitting it unconditionally wouldn't hurt.
