The debuggers debug and edb on DYNIX/ptx (Sequent systems) do not
support DWARF 2, and as far as I know gdb doesn't support DYNIX/ptx.
There are problems that prevent a bootstrap of GCC 3.0 and 3.1 with -g
on such systems but no one has complained about it.
If there are GCC users on DYNIX/ptx who need DWARF support in future
verions of GCC, here's your chance to speak out.
