DWZ 0.15 has been released.

dwz - DWARF optimization and duplicate removal tool

  dwz is a program that attempts to optimize DWARF debugging
  information contained in ELF shared libraries and ELF executables
  for size, by replacing DWARF information representation with
  equivalent smaller representation where possible and by reducing the
  amount of duplication using techniques from DWARF standard appendix
  E - creating DW_TAG_partial_unit compilation units (CUs) for
  duplicated information and using IDW_TAG_imported_unit to import it
  into each CU that needs it.

You can download dwz from the sourceware FTP server here:

DWZ 0.15 includes the following changes and enhancements:

* Uses xxHash hashing algorithm. A 8% ~ 14% speedup.

* Set endianity of multifile using -e, --multifile-endian.

* Set pointer size of multifile using -p, --multifile-pointer-size

* Process files in parallel using -j N --jobs N. The default is
  processors / 2.  Disabled when multifile is used.

* Prints abbrev or DIE offset for Unknown DWARF error messages.

* All testcases have been updated to work against the binutils 2.39.
