Here's a version with the last "this option" replaced by
"-feliminate-dwarf2-dups". I like it this way too.

Eli, I like this better than my original wording because gdb does
not actually support versions of gcc; gdb supports certain debug
formats, which gcc also supports.

So about this version?

! GDB now supports a more compact representation of DWARF-2 debug
! information using DW_FORM_ref_addr references. These are produced
! by GCC with the option -feliminate-dwarf2-dups and also by some
! commercial compilers. With GCC, you must use GCC 3.3.4 or later
! to use -feliminate-dwarf2-dups.
