I built gdb and that's it. I plan to propose the obsoletion of dwarf-1 soon, but that proposal is separate from this patch. This patch just provides current information, without any opinions or policy judgements. Okay to commit? === 2004-04-24 Michael Chastain * dwarfread.c: Update documentation on the state of dwarf-1.
