We just got official DWARF codes assigned to Algol 68, and adapted the
GCC front-end to use them.

For DWARF 5, DW_LANG_Algol68 = 0x44.

For DWARF 6, DW_LNAME_Algol68 = 0x2e with versioning schema YYYY,
starting with 1973 for the original Revised language.  The language
extensions we are working on will be encoded in subsequent versions,
2025 etc.
