   Using dwarf2expr?  I'd not be suprized if it makes dwarf2cfi redundant.

Yes, well, my current implentation doesn't handle
DW_CFA_def_cfa_expression yet (GCC seems not to generate it for the
i386), but my intention is to use the code from dwarf2expr.c for it.

My new implementation will replace dwarf2cfi.c.  There was too much
code in there that I didn't understand, and too many bugs.  For one
thing, dwarf2expr.c is massively leaking memory.
