No, "dwarf" means that debug info will be embedded in module PE files, 
which has always been the default. "dwarf" part of "split-dwarf" is 
important for configure script to apply dwarf-specific flags. "dwarf," 
"split-dwarf" and "pdb" are the only configs for which I know a real 
use, but in theory you could set it to anything else as long as you take 
care of CROSSCFLAGS yourself. "stabs" and "split-stabs" should be in 
theory achievable this way (but I didn't try).
