Quite frankly, I have no idea; I just know it does.  You could
probably find the details in the GCC sources, though.

FWIW, the DJGPP linker script has this snippet:

      /* DWARF 2 */
      .debug_aranges  0 : { *(.debug_aranges) }
      .debug_pubnames 0 : { *(.debug_pubnames) }
      .debug_info     0 : { *(.debug_info) *(.gnu.linkonce.wi.*) }
      .debug_abbrev   0 : { *(.debug_abbrev) }
      .debug_line     0 : { *(.debug_line) }
      .debug_frame    0 : { *(.debug_frame) }
      .debug_str      0 : { *(.debug_str) }
      .debug_loc      0 : { *(.debug_loc) }
      .debug_macinfo  0 : { *(.debug_macinfo) }
