I don't understand what you are saying; the original text was: * GDB works with GCC -feliminate-dwarf2-dups GDB now works with programs compiled with -feliminate-dwarf2-dups. You must use GCC 3.3.4 or later to use this option. Where does this say that GDB supports versions of GCC? > So about this version? I'd prefer something like this: * GDB works with GCC -feliminate-dwarf2-dups GDB can now debug programs compiled with the -feliminate-dwarf2-dups option to GCC 3.3.4 or later, as well as programs compiled with proprietary compilers that produce similar debug information (a more compact representation of DWARF-2 debug information using the DW_FORM_ref_addr references). That is what I meant in my previous message: put the user-oriented information first, and the technicalities after that.
