As far as I can tell, stabs does not provide support for fixed point
types. But regardless of that, I wouldn't worry about stabs for new
features, as the use of this debugging format is getting closer to
zero. At AdaCore, we still use it because we support platforms such
as AIX where moving to DWARF didn't work, so you will see occasional
fixes from me, but that's as far as I will go with stabs.
