I was looking at the current code and trying to figure out how to
modify GDB to record accurate code ranges in its psymtabs instead
of the textlow/texthigh pair. It looks like it's going to be a major
change, so I'm trying to find a path that would allow for a transition
rather than a gigantic patch.
Daniel mentioned that this has been discussed before. Any pointer to
these discussions? I found some discussions, but they seemed to make
a decision to move the opposite way: "Remove live range support"...

Yes, there were patches from Peter Sorfa (or Sofra) from Caldera. Jim
started also a branch a couple of years back. I don't have references
handy, sorry. And yes, i need to reply to a lot of mail (I was really
busy these past 2-3 days), will be back on line shortly.

Jim Blandy posted a proposed interface for describing the ranges, but I
can't find the subject now. And live ranges are something completely
different :) More like .debug_loc location lists, really.
