            Bug ID: 32513
           Summary: find-debuginfo -i should call `gdb-add-index -dwarf-5`
                    to create `.debug_names`, not `.gdb_index`
           Product: debugedit
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: find-debuginfo
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: sam at gentoo dot org
                CC: debugedit at sourceware dot org
  Target Milestone: ---

I was looking at wiring up `.gdb_index` (or `.debug_names`) support in our
packaging today and found debugedit's `find-debuginfo` supports `-i` to create
`.gdb_index `by calling `gdb-add-index`, but it does this without `-dwarf-5`,
so it's creating the deprecated/obsolete `.gdb_index` instead of
`.debug_names`.

`find-debuginfo` should pass -dwarf-5 to `gdb-add-index` to create
`.debug_names` instead.

See PR31363 as well.
