How exactly are you calling debugedit? Which arguments are used?

And what exact warning do you see? unknown section names or unknown DWARF
FORMs?

In theory warnings about unknown forms should only be emitted when edit_dwarf2
is called. Which is guarded by:

          if (!(do_build_id && no_recompute_build_id && !base_dir && !dest_dir)
              && name != NULL && strcmp (name, ".debug_info") == 0)
            edit_dwarf2 (dso);
