Clang-14 and debugging symbols

When compiling by hand, you'd include -g to have the compiler write debugging symbols. For the version of clang++ that we're using (v. 14.0.5), DWARFv5 debug format is used by default. Unfortunately, some of our tools will not properly read the DWARF5 generated by clang-14. Therefore, instead of using the -g flag, use -gdwarf-4.
