Both DBX 7 and GDB 5.3/6.0 seem to grok it without the need for a special command line switch and DWARF-2 has been the default for 64-bit code for a while so the move will probably cause very few problems. Are there any specific difficulties to be expected on the GDB side? Do changes need to be made for the upcoming GDB 6.1? -- Eric Botcazou
