I've been waiting for DWARF 1 to come up. Here are some random facts:

I've run the test suite with -gdwarf and -gdwarf+. My results were
40+ ERRORs and 3400+ FAILs.

In gcc 3.2.2, these targets prefer DWARF 1:

i[34567]86-dg-dgux*
i[34567]86-sequent-ptx4*
i[34567]86-sequent-sysv4*
m88k-dg-dgux*
mips-sni-sysv4
sparc-hal-solaris2*

I also have a list for gcc 2.95.3, which is quite a bit longer.

i[34567]86-dg-dgux*
i[34567]86-ncr-sysv4*
i[34567]86-sequent-ptx4*
i[34567]86-sequent-sysv4*
i[34567]86-*-osf1*
i[34567]86-*-sco3.2v5*
i[34567]86-*-sysv4*
i860-alliant-*
i860-*-sysv4*
m68k-atari-sysv4*
m68k-cbm-sysv4*
m68k-*-sysv4*
m88k-dg-dgux*
m88k-*-sysv4*
mips-sni-sysv4
mips-*-gnu*
sh-*-elf*
sh-*-rtemself*
sparc-hal-solaris2*
sparc-*-sysv4*

The real hang-up is non-gcc compilers that emit DWARF 1.

I recall seeing two instances of that in bug reports in the past year,
but I don't have URL's handy.
