dwarf:

We got a bug report (with patch, that I need to look at...) for a Diab
compiler that emits DWARF 1. There are still widely used DWARF
hardware debuggers, too - not a big deal for us, just a reference
point.

I'd say deprecate it.

mdebug:
Joel's been actively fixing bugs in this as I recall. Tru64 uses it.
I don't think we can do that just yet.

nlm:
Just make it go away...
