No, the version of GDB we have right now is fine with DWARF2 debug

'-gdwarf-2'. We used DWARF2 debug info on i386 for quite a while
before we decided to switch to stabs to avoid the (IMO very minor)
debug-info generation bug. We're using DWARF2 debug information
already on alpha, arm, mips, powerpc, and sparc{64}.
Ok, well that's good news. We should switch x86 targets back to DWARF2 iff GCC4, then, definitely.
(that said, I expect to get gdb 6.4 in the tree this weekend).
Also good news! -- thorpej
