yeah, sorry, I am working on it.  However the dumper has the v4 style embedded very deeply, and the refactoring is taking a long time.
(I mean, *emitting* v5 type units in .debug_info would be pretty easy; it's the dumper that's taking all the effort, and I'm unwilling to emit DWARF that we can't dump.)
