So far GDB sources kept only documentation from the recognized formats.
Such change would have to be done retroactively.

I do not think it makes sense to give much energy to deal with older formats,
distros do a mass-rebuild from time to time anyway (some even nightly) and
.gdb_index contains no extra information over the real DWARF.

Sure it is great to have readelf available for the current valid format.


Thanks,
Jan
