I think that's reasonable enough, and I'm even willing to expend some effort to make add new features to stabs as well as DWARF when it's not too hard. Unfortunately, this particular situation runs into problems on the GCC end of things; the added amount of effort to get all _that_ resolved isn't something that thrills me too much.
