Okay. So the current plan is:
1) EGCS folks get regstack to actually propagate the variable/register
mapping to its output accurately.
2) EGCS folks make sure accurate LRS information is generated.
3) EGCS folks compare output size using base-relative and top-relative
numberings. Unless the space savings are persuasive, we stick with
the more intuitive and more widely used top-relative numbering.
4) Once EGCS is generating the information correctly, GDB folks implement
support for whatever numbering system the EGCS folks recommend.
