Well, as proposed it would be in the CIE record, which is nominally
one compilation unit. You could have more than one per unit if you
wished.

If you're coding in assembly, you may be hard-pressed to get this
information into the object file. It's not easy to write dwarf2
by hand; the assembler can do some (line numbers and such) but there's
no existing mechanism by which to get stuff into the producer string.

Not exactly.
