That's extremely unlikely.

Look for the following code in compiler/options.pas and disable it:

       { the internal linker does not work yet with DWARF either }
       if assigned(target_info.link) and
          not(cs_link_extern in init_settings.globalswitches) then
         begin
           Message(option_dwarf_external_linker);
           include(init_settings.globalswitches,cs_link_extern);
         end;
