Have you tried using stabs instead of dwarf?  -gstabs+ on the  
compiler command line.  Stabs has many problems, but rapid  
advancement of the debug format is not among them. :-)

We're still using stabs here at Apple.  It's a drag for some C++  
things, but otherwise not unlivable.  Of course we hope to migrate to  
DWARF, but most stuff works fine with stabs.
