The problem is ecoff and dwarf use .file/.loc in different ways. They
are not compatible. It is hard to support ecoff and dwarf at the same
time. Alpha has something interesting stuff to deal with it. But I
don't want to spend my time on it. I am happy to have an option to
support stabs/dwarf only without ecoff on ELF/mips. In fact, I will
be happy to see the ecoff support be removed for ELF/mips.
