At least 3 I know of: SCO, UnixWare ans Solaris x86. DG-UX may as well, but I cant swear to its native debugging format. I wish I could say I will have the energy and time to maintain this in gdb but I just cant say that. Id be far more interested in getting it doing correct stack traces in 6.1 on SCO than in supporting DWARF1. SCO for one provides a 'sanctioned' version of gdb, which is 5.1, which does support DWARF1, and I will continue to provide it if it gets phased out of the mainline, I would just prefer not to if its reasonably possible. Since only relatively uncommon platforms are likely to be affected by this and given the burden of maintaining it I can see why you want to drop it. I really dont mind providing two versions of gdb if I have to. Kean
