Description Sam James 2025-01-03 20:12:59 UTC 
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.
