Sigh... This is the answer I have feared. If one would do that he
must also implement that as kind of multi debug format handling.
The code which is compiled with gcc and having stabs(or dwarf2)
debugging informations and the system shared libs having MS
format..

Maybe someone has to take this challenge once...
