Thanks for the list. And Darwin apparently supports DWARF 2. I'm not
suprised Cygwin is a sticky one, though, now that you mention it.
Actually, Darwin doesn't either - I turned it on at one point for
experimentation, but the assembler chokes bigtime.
It seems to me that, for now, it wouldn't be a great idea to convince
GCC to generate a fancy version of stabs, then, until somebody appears
who's particularly motivated to deal with the issues that arise. So I
agree with your planned course of action.
Apple might need to do this. Dwarf 2 is probably in our future, but
it may be a while, because we can't transition until it's more efficient
to use than stabs.
