I don't myself have plans to do this on a regular basis, but it would be nice if it were something that GCC developers could do easily, because (as you know) GCC's own testsuite doesn't catch most bugs in debugging-info output. This and the use of KFAIL (forcing me to upgrade dejagnu) were the only major problems I had. zw
