I am working on SHF_COMPRESSED support:
http://www.sco.com/developers/gabi/latest/ch4.sheader.html
We already have .zdebug* sections, which aren't compatible
with SHF_COMPRESSED scheme due to missing compression
header. What section names should we use for SHF_COMPRESSED
debug sections. Using .debug* or .zdebug* will break existing tools.
I am thinking .zlibdebug* or ..Zdebug*. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
