[Bug target/19087] Overflowed address in dwarf debug line information

["j at uriah dot heep dot sax dot de" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

------- Comment #20 from j at uriah dot heep dot sax dot de  2006-03-27 20:53 -------
I suggest that this change should be accompanied by another indication in
the output that tells the ELF/DWARF-2 consumer about the changed pointer
size.  Otherwise the consumer will experience "funny" behaviour.

While there are many ELF fields available that are otherwise unused on
this architecture (like the OS or ABI fields), there doesn't seem to exist
any practical way to modify their contents through the assembler/linker
interface.  Thus, and after checking other GCC code like the section
".note.GNU-stack" suggested at the end of varasm.c, I think adding something
like

named_section_flags (".note.DWARF2-32", SECTION_DEBUG);

to function avr_file_end() in gcc/config/avr/avr.c appears to be a suitable
way to me to flag this information to the potential consumer.
