The SCO target is i[34567]86-*-sco3.2v5*.
With gcc 2.95.3, this target prefers DWARF 1 or SDB.
With gcc 3.2.2, this target prefers DWARF 2 or SDB.
(see config.gcc and config/i386/sco5.h in the source).
Are there still a lot of SCO users with gcc 2?
If there are, is it reasonable to require them to upgrade to gcc 3
when they upgrade their gdb?
(The proposal is to phase out DWARF 1 only. DWARF 2 is one of the best,
most current formats).
