But now GCC on our most-popular targets (GNU/Linux, the BSDs) produces DWARF-2 by default and it works like a charm. The space issue is still a big deal. We'll probably be hearing all sorts of things about that, now, especially with Apple jumping on the DWARF2 bandwagon for OS X. At least, tentatively. -- Daniel Jacobowitz MontaVista Software Debian GNU/Linux Developer
