But I am not sure how to re-open the deferred issue with the DWARF group. I just sent out a mail to ask how. Hopefully someone can reply quickly. BTW. Anyone have any comments about using DW_AT_GNU_main first in GNU tools? I still like this idea. We don't need to wait for DWARF group's decision, which might be long. Regards - Wu Zhou
