This is just to point out I have series of DWARF-related patches 
awaiting reviews for several months. I plan to rebase against trunk, 
retest and resubmit them shortly but hereâs an overview:

  * The patch series for transition to standard DWARF for Ada 
(https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2015-08/msg01857.html). There are 8 
patches, each one depending on the previous one, except the 6/8 one 
(https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2015-07/msg01361.html) which could 
go on its own.

  * Fix DW_AT_static_link generation in DWARF 
(https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2015-08/msg01855.html). The 
corresponding support in GDB is in the development branch.

  * Track indirect calls as call site information in DWARF 
(https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2015-08/msg01856.html).

  * Materialize subprogram renamings in Ada as imported declarations in 
DWARF (https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2015-08/msg01854.html). The 
corresponding support in GDB is in the development branch.

If there is anything I should do to ease the review process, please let 
me know. :-) Thank you in advance!
